INTRODUCTION
This volume is entirely devoted to the bibliography of the Philippine
Islands. In its narrowest significance, the term "Philippine bibliography"
is restricted to the actual imprints of the Philippine Islands. By this term,
however, we understand and include a much wider field -in addition to
the above, all the printed books and pamphlets of any country dealing, in
whole or in part, with the Philippine Islands; as well as all Manuscripts.
Obviously, one cannot hope, much less expect, within the compass of one
single volume, to cover the field as just outlined. Besides it is unnecessary
to duplicate work that has been so efficiently done already. The recent bib-
liographies published under the auspices of the Library of Congress, namely,
those of A. P. C. Griffin and Dr. T. H. Pardo de Tavera, furnish excellent
working bibliographies. The bibliographical works of Medina and Retana,
although published in limited editions, are sufficiently accessible. The
latest work of the latter, Aparato bibliograficoy offers the most extensive
array of Philippine imprints yet listed. The catalogues (especially vols,
iv and v) of Pedro Vindel, the Madrid bookseller, can be used to distinct
advantage, and are easily obtainable. The Adiciones of Perez and Giiemes
supplement Medina's and Retana's work on the imprints of Manila and
the Philippines. Finally, the bibliographical comments of James A. LeRoy,
published in The Philippine Islands, I4^J-l8g8, Vol. LII, furnish the
most comprehensive practical working list of Philippina for the later period
of the Spanish regime that has yet been attempted.
It is to be observed that the above bibliographies, and all Philippine
bibliographies generally, while they do note or publish some few MSS.,
with but few exceptions (notably Llorens Asensio's Primer vuelta al mundo)
are devoted to the listing of printed matter. Consequently, it has been
deemed expedient, in the present work, to limit our endeavors more directly
to the field of MSS. - a field that offers so rich a source for the history of the
Philippines. Yet, in order that one may find within our volume complete
material for a thorough bibliographical survey of the Philippines, we have

devoted the first part of our work to printed titles. We make no pretense
of listing the titles usually found in bibliographies. Our first object, as
seen by the first three divisions of printed titles, is to point out the sources
for a complete bibliographical study of the Philippines. Those three divi-
sions are: I. Philippine bibliographies, and important bibliographical
lists; -this in small compass covering the entire field of imprints, so far
as bibliographies have been compiled. II. Other bibliographies; cata-
logues of public and private libraries; and sales catalogues; -this division
showing the recognition of Philippine titles by general and special bibliog-
raphers; to some extent the ownership of Philippina; and the demand
and supply as demonstrated by the sales catalogues. III. Books, pam-
phlets, etc., containing bibliographical lists, notes, etc.; -this division
showing titles in many different lines, some of great rarity and value. It
must again be noted that we do not list the actual titles, but the sources
where the titles may be found. The fourth division of printed titles is the
only one that can be classed under the head of pure or general bibliography.
This we have entitled "Books, pamphlets, etc. (mostly published in whole
or in part in The Philippine Islands, I4gj-l8g8)" The fact that we have
used them, in whole or in part, as documents for our series constitutes the
first reason for their appearance. We have introduced here a very few
titles that we have not used, because of their scarcity or importance for the
study of the history of the Philippine Archipelago, such as, for instance,
Rivadeneira's Historia of 1601. A special feature of the last division is
the location of the rarer titles. However, we have made no attempt to cite
prices, for since American occupation, prices have been more or less arti-
fically raised, and the present price is not a sure index of the value of the
books. To many of the printed titles, we append critical and other notes;
and frequent references to the various Philippine bibliographies admit of
a study of the critical notes of others. In this portion of our work, as in the
manuscript division, we aim rather at the practical, and our attempt is to
furnish a good working bibliography, and not one calculated merely to meet
the tastes of the bibliophile.
We have personally examined most of the titles of the printed material
listed by us, a process that has involved an immense amount of work, in-
asmuch as the various books are not to be found in one collection. This has
necessitated research in many libraries; and we are able to assert that no-
where else have bibliographical aids to the study of the bibliography of the
Philippine Islands been so extensively cited. We have made no attempt
to list the many books that we have used for annotation, unless such books
contain bibliographical information. Many general bibliographies and
many special bibliographies contain Philippine titles. Many catalogues

of private libraries also contain titles. Especially is this true of libraries of
Americana, which generally list some Magalhaes and Pigafetta material.
While we have listed some libraries of Americana we make no effort to list
all of them. It should also be noted that the ecclesiastical provinces of
the Philippines extended to China and other parts of the Asiatic mainland,
so that it is quite natural to expect that bibliographies of China and Japan
and other parts of southern Asia should often contain Philippina. The
student should also note that many collections of voyages, ecclesiastical
books, etc., contain Philippine matter. Some of the titles cited contain
very few items of Philippina, but some are of great importance. In the
arrangement of the titles to books and pamphlets, we have adopted the
strict chronological order.
For a study of the early history of printing in the Philippines, and its de-
velopment, the reader will find useful matter in Medina's Imprenia en Ma-
nila (Santiago de Chile, 1896); and in Retana*s Imprenta (Madrid, 1899),
Introduction, col. 5-50. See also the rules of printing as published by the
latter in vol. i of his Archivo. These rules were promulgated in Manila,
February 16, 1857. ^^ seems reasonably clear that the printing press was
established in the Philippines as early as 1593, for in that year, Gomez
Perez Dasmarinas licensed the printing of the Christian Doctrine in Taga-
log and Chinese (see his letter of June 20, 1593, in our vol. ix, p. 68),
although no copies of this have come down to the present day. It must be
noted, however, that from the language of the letter above cited, it may be
assumed that the printing press had been established before the year 1593.
However, the implied reasoning of Perez and Giiemes (Adiciones, pp. xxi-
xxiv) following the statement of Beristain de Sousa, that the Arte y Vocahu-
lario de la lengua tagala of Juan de Quiiiones was printed at Manila in 1581,
cannot be supported. The real history of printing in the Philippines, in
which it seems that the religious orders had more to do than anyone else,
has not yet been written, although it is worth careful study.
MANUSCRIPTS
The bibliography of MSS. forms the main part of the present volume.
Important as is our citation of authorities citing Philippine titles, we believe
this to be our chief contribution to Philippine bibliography. We do not
hesitate to assert that we have presented more manuscript Philippine titles
than all other bibliographers together. In this we have naturally had the
benefit of the work of all bibliographers and authors who have cited Philip-
pine MSS., and to such we are naturally under obligations. However, we
have ourselves personally examined the greater part of the MSS. cited by
us, and thus are enabled to cite directly from the originals or our transcripts

12 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
from the originals. Especially is this true of the MSS. cited from the Ar-
chivo de Indias, at Sevilla; those of the Real Academia de la Historia, at
Madrid; other government archives of that city; the MSS. belonging to
Eduardo Navarro, O. S. A., of Valladolid, and those of the Colegio de Agus-
tinos of the same city; those belonging to Pablo Pastells, S. J., at Sarria;
those of the Vatican; those in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; those in the
British Museum; and in America, those in Lenox, the Library of Congress,
and the Ayer Collection. The rest we have cited from any source where we
have found them mentioned. In addition to the arduous research in the
various archives and libraries, the examination of the various authorities
citing MSS. has entailed severe and protracted labor. In this research we
have examined the following works: Sommervogel's Bibliotheque; Blumen-
tritt's Focabular; Huerta's Estado; Marcellino da Civezza's Saggio di
bibliografia; Retana's works (especially his Bibliografia de Mindanao, and
his Archive); Vindel's Catdlogos; Perez's Catalogo; Perez and Giiemes's
Adiciones; and others. When MSS. have been cited by several authori-
ties, we have so stated; as we have also done when MSS. personally exam-
ined by us have been cited by others or transcribed for others. The con-
stant effort has been to cite as many MSS. as possible, and to describe them
as fully as possible. In some cases we have been able to give only the most
meager details. This is true of some of the MSS. cited from the various
archives, and which we personally examined. In such cases this arises from
the fact that our notes were taken rather for immediate use in our series
than for bibliographical purposes. All such MSS., however, have a value
to the historical student, having been carefully selected from the thousands
in the archives as worthy of publication.
Our manuscript division falls quite naturally into two parts: I. Those
MSS. which we have published, in whole or in part, in our series. II.
Those manuscripts which we merely cite and describe in this bibliography,
but have not published in our series. The description of the MSS. of the
first division is in general more complete than those of the second, except
for the MSS. from the Library of Congress and the Ayer Collection. In
all the MSS. of the first division and in as many as possible of the second,
we have given the opening and closing words; and in some of the most
important we have indicated the line endings of the titles.
We have not considered it advisable to list merely devotional writings,
sermons, translations of the Christian Doctrine, Catechism, etc., of which
there are so many, both in Spanish and in the Filipino idioms and dialects.
Neither have we cited all linguistic MSS., of which also there are many.
We have endeavored, however, to cite specially those documents of politi-
cal, civil, social and economic value, our constant desire being to furnish

sources for the study of the history of the PhiHppines and the Filipino peoples
and other inhabitants of the Archipelago in all lines that tend toward human
development - in a word, of the great forces that make for intellectual and
spiritual achievement and progress, either through governmental, or social
and economic (including ecclesiastical) activities. MSS. are cited for
almost each year of the Spanish regime; and thus the manuscript division
forms in itself an epitome of Philippine history.
Of some of the MSS. we are unable to give locations, as some have dis-
appeared or our authorities have failed to give the place of conservation.
But wherever possible we have given location and pressmark. We make no
pretense at completeness. That is impossible in one single volume. But
we do present a representative list of titles to MSS. gathered from many
sources, and of distinct value.
The most important archives and libraries where Philippine material
(both printed and manuscript) is conserved are noted below, with some
comments on contents and scope.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Manila Archives.- During the Spanish regime great confusion prevailed
in the keeping of MSS. They were not even all housed in central archives.
It is known that Governor Enrile took back to Spain with him many MSS.
and printed documents (Pardo de Tavera, Nottcias sohre la imprenta y el
grabado, p. 8); and it is to be surmised that many documents now in private
hands in the islands should by rights be in the archives. Each of the reli-
gious orders had, as now, its own archives, where many valuable documents
were conserved. The parish priests, as customary in all parts, kept the
records of their churches, and each municipality generally made some pre-
tense at keeping records. Yet in all instances, the system was not by any
means perfected. During the Tagalog rebellion of 1896-97, during the
Spanish-American war, and during the later Filipino revolution, many
documents and books were destroyed or looted by Spaniards, Filipinos,
and Americans. Fortunately, some of the looted MSS. are gradually find-
ing their way into American libraries and collections, where they will be
adequately conserved. Since American occupation it has been the policy
to gather all public records into one central point, namely, at Manila. A
new bureau was accordingly created, which was known as the Bureau of
Archives, Patents, Copyrights, and Brands. This bureau lost its entity in
1906, and is now a part of the Executive Bureau. The division of archives,
etc., is under the management of Manuel de Iriarte, a Filipino of scholarly
tastes, considerable executive ability, and thoroughness. Shortly after the
creation of the bureau, one of the younger Filipino scholars, Clemente

Zulueta, a history professor in the new Filipino academy, was commissioned
to go to Spain and other countries in order to gather information regarding
Philippine MSS. This work came to a close on account of the death of Sr.
Zulueta, and has not been resumed since. Notwithstanding that the ar-
chives have been removed four times since American occupation, work has
steadily progressed, and much order brought out of the chaos that formerly
ruled. Much valuable information has been furnished to the government
and to private parties, from the archives, especially on land matters and
accounts. There are over 5,000 volumes of Philippine MSS. in the Manila
archives, and many loose MSS., relating to the various departments of gov-
ernment. The collection of records as reorganized since American occupa-
tion consists of papers covering a period of over two centuries. "It em-
braces papers referring to all subjects connected with the Spanish adminis-
tration and all institutions affected by Spanish legislation. It embraces
papers relating to the general administration of the archipelago, the munici-
palities, civil and religious corporations, colleges, hospitals, pious founda-
tions, banks and mercantile corporations, consulates, printing offices,
colonies, penal institutions, Chinese immigration, patents and trademarks,
personal records of officials, public charity and health, public instruction,
post and telegraph, market-license contracts, cock pits, weights and meas-
ures, ferries, opium, construction and repair of State, provincial, and munici-
pal buildings; bridges, wagon-roads, railroads, and tramways; industrial,
urbana, cedula, and Chinese head taxes; customs duties, revenue from
stamped paper, revenue from vino and tobacco when these articles were
monopolies of the State; sale of State lands, security fund, and various other
matters." Among the documents are many important land records and
many referring to the accounts and public funds.^
In regard to the papers of the religious orders, many have been removed
from the islands by the friars, but many that are most valuable yet remain
in their archives; and it is hoped that in the near future a thorough investi-
gation may be made of the documents in the various convents. Through
the aid of Sr. Iriarte, we have been able to publish one important MS. from
the Dominican archives.
Dr. T. H. Pardo de Tavera, of Manila, whom we have cited so frequently
in this work, possesses a fine collection of Philippina, among which are
many linguistic titles. Epifanio de los Santos, of Malolos, Bulakan, Luzon,
also possesses a fine collection, said to number about 2,000 pieces, and which

Philippine Commission for matter regarding the archives. Sr. Iriarte is, in the midst of his
other duties, preparing an index of the more important MSS. in the archives, which will
render research much more easy.

Retana ranks above that of Pardo de Tavera. Some of the collection of
C. Zulueta has been sold; as has also a portion of the Rizal collection.
Manuel Ponce also owns some Philippina.
SPAIN
Archivo de Indias -These archives are housed in the Lonja or Exchange
at Sevilla. As their name indicates, they are the depot for the conservation
of papers relating to the Spanish Indies, both West and East. The West
Indies include all the Spanish possessions in the Americas; the East Indies,
the Philippines, Moluccas, other islands, and parts of the Asiatic mainland.
These archives (which are under charge of Pedro Torres Lanzas) are the
most important in existence for Philippine study, both from the number
and variety of the papers conserved therein. There are many thousands of
documents dating from the period of Magalhaes's voyage to almost the end
of the Spanish regime, and all are open to the student. These documents
consist not only of MSS. but as well of printed pamphlets and broadsides,
many of the greatest rarity. There are many duplicates and even some
triplicates, etc., for in the old days in order to ensure arrival at their destina-
tion, letters, reports, etc., were generally sent in duplicate, triplicate, and
even quadruplicate, on different vessels, the report of one year often includ-
ing that of the previous year, which had been sent before.
Classification of documents is inadequate. The first general classifica-
tion is into Audiencias, i.e., into the districts under the jurisdiction of the
various tribunals of that name. Thus, there is the Audiencia de Quito, the
Audiencia de Panama, the Audiencia de Mejico, and the Audiencia de Fili-
pinas. The indexes roughly classify into secular and ecclesiastical, but
the division is often not sharp, and many documents are strangely out of
place. There is little individual listing of documents, and still less attempt
at calendaring. Yet, since the documents are classified by subjects and
periods, this arrangement furnishes a rough working guide. In research,
however, one must examine every document of the period under investiga-
tion, in order that no important material may escape. In the Philippine
documents proper, there are four main divisions: those sent from Simancas;
those entitled " Secretaria de Nueva Espaiia;*' those entitled merely ** Audien-
cia de Filipinas;" and the documents sent by the Ministry of War in 1887.
The subdivision of each group is into the special heads under which the
documents naturally classify. Thus, to take a concrete example: the first
special head of the documents of the Audiencia de Filipinas is "Consultas
originates correspondientes a dicha Audiencia'* (i.e., "Original consulta-
tions relating to said Audiencia"). The period embraced for this division
is for the years 1586-1700; and the pressmark proper is *'estante 67, cajon

6, legajos 1-3." "Estante" corresponds to "section," "cajon," to "shelf/'
and "legajo" to "bundle" (there being in this case three legajos). The
various bundles are wrapped in strong paper and tied -a method that is
somewhat hard on the MSS.; for since many of them are written and
printed on the so-called rice paper, which has become brittle with age, each
handling of the bundle aids the natural process of disintegration of such
documents. Hence some of our transcripts are now more valuable than
the original from which they were made.
Because of the importance of the Archivo de Indias for Philippine re-
search, we give below the contents of the various indexes of Philippine
documents.' I. The documents sent from Simancas early in the nine-
teenth century are divided first into those of secular and ecclesiastical
character indiscriminately - 5 legajos; second, into documents of a
secular character -68 legajos; and third, into documents of an ecclesias-
tical character -20 legajos. To this division must be added three legajos
also sent from Simancas that treat of the discovery, description, and popula-
tion of the Philippines. II. Documents of the "Secretaria de Nueva
Espana" - divided into three divisions as above, of 25, 171, and 39 legajos,
respectively. III. Audiencia de Filipinas. This is divided first, into
documents of a secular character - 670 legajos; second, into documents
of an ecclesiastical character - 66 legajos. IV. Documents sent by the
Ministry of War in 1887. Two divisions as above, of 146 and 34 legajos
respectively. This makes a total of 1,247 legajos treating entirely of the
Philippines. To this must be added those documents in other divisions
that treat of the PhiHppines, such as the Audiencia de Mejico (orders and
decrees sent to the viceroys, etc.); the legajos treating of the Moluccas;
papers in the division of justice and accounts; the division "Indiferente de
Nueva Espana;" and others. The indexes of Philippine documents follow.

V. Inventario analitico de los papeles que vinieron de la contratacion de Sevilla a este
archive general de las Indias. This was made under the direction of Juan Agustin Cean
Bermudez, and is divided into four vols., showing in all a collection of 5,876 legajos of papers
from the Seville House of Trade. Many papers treat of the Philippines. The two follow-
ing indexes were made from this.
VI. Indice Alfabetico de Tod as las personas cotenidas en el primero tomo del Inventario

VII. Indices Alfabetic^. de las Materias y Pueblos de Indias contenidos en los cuatro
tomos de los inventarios de la Contratacion de Sevilla. The second part of this index con-
tains considerable on the Philippines - accounts, registers, and commercial matters.
Bihlioteca Nacional- This is located at Madrid, and is under charge of
the eminent Spanish scholar, Marcelino Menendez y Pelayo. This library
is not especially rich in either Philippine MSS. or books, although it posses-
ses a few of the rarer books. The MSS. are carefully indexed by title and
pressmark. See Gallardo's Ensayo for a list of MSS. and books, among
which are noted some of the MSS. of this library. The books in the library
are indexed and classified by authors by a system somewhat analogous to
the modern card system, although much more clumsy. We have listed at
least the most important of the Philippine MSS. of the library.
Archivo-Historico Nacional,- These archives are located in the same
building as the above library, and are under the directorship of Vicente
Vignau y Balester. The most important collection containing Philippine
material is the Cedulario indico. This consists of forty-one volumes of
royal decrees sent to the Indies by the various Spanish monarchs. It is
evidently a copy made for the record of the government. Many of the de-
crees concern the Philippines, of which the last four volumes contain the
greater number, although some few are scattered through most of the re-
maining volumes. No special order has been kept in the copying of the
decrees of the Cedulario, and investigation is a matter requiring patient
plodding. Accompanying the Cedulario is a twenty-four volume calendar,
which is of some aid. The calendaring is poorly done, being in some in-
stances longer than the decree itself. Many of the decrees exist in dupli-
cate in Sevilla, and doubtless in Manila as well. The archives also possess

30 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
a number of long expedientes concerning the expulsion of the Jesuits from
the Philippines.
Real Academia de la Historia- This academy, which has had an appre-
ciable effect on Spanish culture, is also located in Madrid. It is rich in
Philippine titles, both printed and manuscript. Among the former are
many of the rarest imprints. Chief among its papers are the Papeles de los
Jesuitas, or Jesuit papers. These were confiscated from the Jesuit con-
vents at the time of the expulsion, and number in all about 225 volumes of
bound MSB., pamphlets, and broadsides. Many of these papers relate to
the Philippines. These consist of letters from various missionaries, reports
on the missions, polemical writings, etc. Some of the reports on the
islands and mission work are among the most important and interesting
records of the islands. As a rule they were made by comparatively well-
trained men who were interested in many matters outside of their own nar-
row sphere of mission work. We include in our series some of these reports.
The Ventura del Arco transcripts to be described in this bibliography
were almost entirely, if not wholly, made from these documents. The
Salazar Collection of MSS., also conserved in this library, contains a few
documents treating of the Philippines. The famous collection of trans-
cripts made by Juan Bautista Muiioz is also owned by the Academy. These
MSS. were transcribed by and for Munoz from various archives in Spain
(government and private) and Portugal, in pursuance of the royal order
given him by Carlos III to write a history of Spanish discovery and con-
quest. Special orders were issued to the Spanish public archives, then
jealously guarded, to give Munoz every facility of research. It is to be
regretted that the Spanish government saw fit to prohibit the publication of
any of the work after the first volume.^ The title to the index of this col-
lection reads as follows: "Index to the collection of MSS. belonging to the
history of the Indias written by Don Juan Bautista Muiioz and found at his
death in his library. Made by royal order, with the intervention of Don
Jose Navarro, member of his Majesty's Council, alcalde of his royal house,
and Cortes, and Don Cenon Alonso, chief official of the portfolio of Grace
and Justice of Indias, by Don Joaquin Traggia and Don Manuel Abella,
members of the Real Academia de la Historia." This index lists the fol-
lowing important MSS.: Historia de las islas e indios de B is ay as ^ by Al-
cina, 2 vols, (which a later note says is not now in the collection); portions
of books i, ii, and iii of Chirino's Historian a portion of Riquel's Relacion,
transcribed from the printed copy; Solorzano's relation of the Marianas
missions for 1682-1683; a portion of the Historia de las Islas Molucas, trans-
^ Sabin declares that the publication was stopped because the results were not altogether
complimentary to the Spanish nation.

Historiay with the Itinerario (from the copy of the Conde del Aguila); and
many indexes to libraries. It appears that at least a part of Muiioz's Col-
lection was made in duplicate or else a transcript was made of part of it,
for at the Lenox branch of the N. Y. Public Library exists what is known
by the name of the Munoz Collection, together with a copy of Traggia's
index (see post, pp. 41, 42). The chief value of Muiioz's work lies in the fact
that he located many important MSS., among them the copy of Alexander
VFs bull Inter catera, of May 3, 1493, and some of the important MSS.
conserved in the Portuguese archives.
Museo-Bihlioteca de Ultramar,- This museum and library was founded
in Madrid, in 1887 at the close of the Philippine exposition of that year;
and its institution was due primarily to the efforts of Victor Balaguer, then
minister of the colonies (see his Islas Filipinas, Madrid, 1895). The
museum contains the exhibits of the exposition which were left as a perma-
nent deposit. They form an excellent display of Philippine products and
curios, which give a good idea of the progress of the arts and sciences in the
islands, the methods employed in industry, etc. The collections of Philip-
pine woods and shells are especially fine. There are a few paintings by
Filipino artists, which do not show any preeminent merit, one of which is
a copy of a Murillo. Concerning the library, we translate as follows from
Balaguer, ut supra: "The library of the Museo de Ultramar consists of
series and collections of books that treat exclusively of the colonies, many
of them printed in those lands, and all relating to matters, events, and his-
tories of countries conquered across seas by our glorious ancestors. This
library was formed on the base of that possessed by the ministry of the
colonies, together with the works which have been gathered, book by book,
by dint of the persevering zeal and benedictine toil of the board at its head;
the collection of the precious and chosen volumes and documents (a true
treasure of bibliographical jewels) owned by Don Pascual Gayangos; and
the acquisition of the many and very rare books formerly owned by Don
Justo Zaragoza; two fine colonial libraries obtained by the Council of
Filipinas and generously yielded by that corporation in order to swell the
library of the above institute, which on that account has been able to com-

plete its own until it is the first and only one of its kind in Spain." The
collection consists of books and MSS. on all the Spanish colonies. There is
a fine collection of Philippine titles, among which are some of the rarest.
The MSS. are few in number, but are choice. Among the Philippine MSS.
are Riquel's Relacion, the Relacion of Artieda, a Relacion by Legazpi, and
the Valdes Tamon MS., all of which we publish (the last only in extract).
The librarian in charge of this institution is Francisco de P. Cousiiio y Vaz-
quez. See the Catdlogo of the library, which we list, post,
Bihltoteca Real -The royal library is located in the royal palace in
Madrid, and is under charge of the Conde de las Navas, an author of some
repute in Spain. Its shelves contain but very few Philippine titles, but what
it has is valuable. Among its MSS. it lists a copy of Chirino's unpublished
Historia; a copy of Sanchez's Relacion, presented to Felipe II, about 1590;
and a copy of Valdes Tamon's Relacion.
Deposito hidrogrdfico.- The principal office of this department is located
in Madrid, and there is a branch office at Cadiz. Many of the documents
are transcripts or duplicates of those now at Sevilla. The collection of
maps is doubtless much greater than that of the A. de I.; especially for the
last century of Spanish rule, and many of the late maps are probably printed.
This bureau was for many years under the charge of Martin Fernandez de
Navarrete, who worked enthusiastically to increase the usefulness of the de-
partment, and caused many transcripts to be made. The documents col-
lected by him are now known as the Navarrete Collection. Permission to
carry on investigations in this bureau must be obtained through the gov-
ernment, either directly or by means of the intervention of the minister of
the country of the applicant.
Archivo de Simancas- As indicated by their name, these archives are
located in the village of Simancas. They are housed in an old castle on the
borders of the old kingdom of Leon, which was set apart by Carlos I and
Felipe II for the conservation of state papers. They are at present under
the directorship of Julian Paz, a man of great energy and an enthusiastic
worker, who is endeavoring to reduce the chaotic disorder of the archives
to a well-ordered system. It has been estimated that these archives contain
some 33,000,000 documents. During the French invasion in the Napo-
leonic wars, many of the MSS. were scattered, burned, and looted, many
being carried off to France and deposited in the royal library. Most but
not all of these latter were restored later in the century. As already
stated many documents were removed thence in the early part of the nine-
teenth century to A. de I., and there are still many more that should be
removed to the same place. Most of the Philippine documents are state
consultations, etc.; but there are some duplicates of the documents in A. de

I. We have published some few MSS. from these archives. An extended
research would result in the finding of much valuable matter.
Archivo de Alcald de Henares- Montero y Vidal cites several MSS.,
some of which he gives in full, from these archives. Although no personal
examination of these archives has been made, it is quite probable that there
is nothing of special importance in them. The project has been broached
of removing all the MSS. to Madrid (as well, indeed the MSS. of all the
other government archives), in order that they may be conserved in one
central point, and thus research be facilitated as in the Bibliotheque Na-
tionale, in Paris.
Colegio de AgustinoSy Valladolid.- This convent and college was founded
in the eighteenth century, especially for the training of missionaries for the
Philippines. On this account it is often called Colegio de Filipinas. In
the library of this college are found some few rare PhiHppine titles, mainly
chronicles and histories; and Diaz's MS., Conquistas de las Islas Philipinas,
dated 1720. More noteworthy is the collection in the same convent belong-
ing to Eduardo Navarro, O. S. A., one of the foremost Augustinian scholars
in Spain. Father Navarro's collection of books shows the various divi-
sions of history, biography, description, linguistics, religion, natural science,
government and politics, statistics, and bibliography. While this collec-
tion contains some few of the old chronicles and older linguistic titles, the
greater part is rather modern. The chief gems among the MSS. are Agus-
tin Maria de Castro's Osario venerable, and Martinez de Zuiiiga's Estadismo.
Father Navarro also possesses some few hundreds of transcripts that were
made in A. de I., many of which we have published from our own tran-
scripts made from the same originals. Father Navarro has been an earnest
worker in the Philippine field, and has written several books and pamphlets.
He has lately been transferred to the Madrid convent of his order. Rev.
Tirso Lopez of the Valladolid convent edited Diaz's chronicle from the
original MS.
Retana, Catdlogo, p. xiii, says that the Augustinian convent and colegio
de la Vid (Burgos) does not possess as many books as the Valladolid con-
vent, but that it is rich in chronicles and vocabularies.
Collections at Dominican convents- At the convent of Ocana, Toledo,
the Dominicans have some important Philippine books and MSS.; but we
have not seen this collection. At the Avila convent of the order, are some of
the rarest chronicles, among them the Historia of Diego Collantes.
Collection of the Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas- This is the
largest and best collection of Philippina in existence. It is located in the
offices of the Company at Barcelona, and is due to the initiative of the direct-

1883, with the intention of amassing into one collection all available books
on the Philippines, at least those written in the Spanish language. In 1894
he entered into relations with Retana and Vindel. Since 1896, he has
bought many books from European booksellers outside of Spain. The
librarian in charge of the collection is Jose Sanchez Garrigos, from whom
the information regarding this collection is in part derived. According to
Retana's latest bibliographical work, Aparato bibliografico, which is the
catalogue of this collection, it contains 4,623 different titles. In 1900, the
Company purchased the magnificent collection of Retana, which consisted
of 2,697 titles, which the latter claims that he sold at a sacrifice. The du-
plicates obtained with Retana's Collection, the Company has sold. Since
it has not been the policy of the Company to acquire original MSS., it has
disposed of most if not all of such that came into its possession. On the
other hand, the Company possesses transcripts from originals in A. de L,
amounting to 34,000 pliegos, or 68,000 leaves. The work of gathering
transcripts was begun in accordance with the suggestion of Retana, in 1895,
and the work was given in commission to Vicente Llorens Asensio, of the
staff of A. de I. in 1899. These transcripts the Company has generously
loaned to Pablo Pastells, to whom they were of immense use in editing his
edition of Colin's Labor evangelica. Of books, there are in this incompa-
rable collection, 1,702 titles in linguistics; and of newspapers, 127 of the
182 (either in whole or in part of the entire issue) pubHshed in the islands,
besides all the old chronicles. Volumes in this collection have come from
the following collections: Soweleski, Ramirez, Duque de Alba, Duque de
Durcal, Fermin Caballero, Marques de Liedena, Duque de T'Serclaes,
Salva-Heredia, the Emperor Maximilian, Sancho Rayon, Medina, Cabezas
de Herrera, Barrantes, General Terrero, Tiscar, Zapater, and others
(many of them having come through the Retana Collection). All the books
are carefully bound, and among them are seen some celebrated bindings.
See Aparato bibliografico, i, Retana's introduction; and Pastells's edition
of Colin's Labor evangelica, i, pp. 236-238. The Company very generously
allows research among its treasures. Since American occupation, it should
be said that more attention has been paid to the collection of foreign
books.
Pastells's Collection - One of the best known workers in the field of Phil-
ippina is Pablo Pastells, S. J., of Sarria. Pastells was for many years a
missionary in the Philippines, and was at one time the teacher of Dr. Rizal.
He collaborated with Retana in his edition of Combes's Historia de Min-
danao y J0I6. Some of the letters written by him concerning Mindanao
contain valuable ethnological material. He has also contributed a few notes
to our series. His chief work, however, is his edition of Colin's Labor

evangelica, published at Barcelona, in 1904, in three vols. As above stated,
he had the use of the transcripts gathered by the C. G. de T. de F., many
of which he has reproduced in his footnotes. In his own collection Father
Pastells possesses a few of the old chronicles, and of important MSS. that of
Murillo Velarde's Htstorta, In addition he had the use of the MS. of Chi-
rino's unpublished Htstorta, which was either lent or given to him by Ramon
Martinez Vigil, O. P., now bishop of Oviedo in Spain, but formerly stationed
in the Philippines.
Other Spanish Collections,- According to Retana (Aparato bibl., i, p. xxxv),
there were few collectors in Philippina until 1898. Agustin Maria de
Castro had an excellent collection as early as 1780, especially of the
writings of Augustinians. Francisco Zapater, who was in the Philippines
in the middle of the nineteenth century, possessed many books. After
his death in Zaragoza, whither he had removed his residence, many of his
books were bought by Retana. Jose de Keyset y Munoz possessed some ex-
cellent MSS., of which Retana acquired two. Vicente Barrantes's collec-
tion obtained more prestige than it deserved. It consisted of about 600
titles, most of which were ordinary and all of which were not in the best
condition.*^ At his death the collection was sold to Vindel. Some of the
MSS. and the corridos were bought for the Ayer Collection, and others of
the collection were sold to the C. G. de T. de F. The collection of Juan
Alvarez Guerra, numbering less even than that of Barrantes, was sold piece
by piece while its owner was still living. Some were purchased by the C. G.
de T. de F., and others were bought by Vindel, whence some have come to
the United States. A small collection was also possessed by Jose Velarde
y Naveda, an ofl&cia 1 of the colonial government. Antonio Graiiio, of the
firm of Victoriano Suarez, in Madrid, has been collecting Philippina.
He has some of the rarest of titles, among which is the only copy known
of Arte y reglas de la lengua tagala, by San Jose (Bataan, 1610). He also
possesses two copies of Collantes's Historia, and some valuable MSS.,
among them a copy of Viana's Demostracion deplorable. His object is ulti-
mately to sell these books, but he is waiting until the prices go up, and mean-
while is endeavoring to obtain all the copies possible of all the rare books
in order that he may control the price. The collections of the Marques de
Jerez de los Caballeros, and of the Duque de T'Serclaes, both of
Sevilla, contained some good Philippine titles. The universities of Sevilla
and Barcelona, and the provincial library at Toledo possess a few of the
older historical titles.
'According to Retana; some of the MSS. of this collection, however, now owned by
the Ayer Collection, have a decided value. One often suspects Retana 's judgment to be
warped by personal feeling, which leads him to assign less merit than is due.

3 6 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Archives and libraries in Portugal
The most important archives in Portugal are the national archives called
Torre do Tombo, v^hich are located in Lisbon. These contain some Philip-
pine MSS., and many MSS. relating to the Portuguese settlements in the
Orient. Some of the Mufioz transcripts w^ere made from documents in these
archives. The public library of Lisbon or the Biblioteca Nacional, also
located in Lisbon, contains a few Philippine titles among its printed books,
as well as a few MSS. The Portuguese archives are a prolific source of
information for the Moluccas Islands and the Asiatic mainland.
Archives and libraries in Italy
Archivio del Vaticano- This is the most important of the archives in
Italy, and investigation is open to all. They contain many important col-
lections that have come from many sources. There is less Philippine ma-
terial, however, than one might reasonably expect. The greater part of
the Philippine MSS. consists of the copies of papal bulls and briefs; although
there are some reports, such as the important relation of Alonso Sanchez,
S. J., made about 1590. There is also some little matter in regard to the
episcopal visit of regulars, which was waged so fiercely in the islands and in
Spain. The indexes of the archives are poor and research is consequently
arduous.
Biblioteca del Faticano -The library of the Vatican is quite separate
from the archives. Like the latter it is extremely rich in the many impor-
tant collections conserved therein. Considerable confusion is manifest,
and all the collections are not yet adequately catalogued. There are some
rare Philippine titles, but Philippina is not extensive. Retana, Im-
prenta, col. 50, citing from Agustin Maria de Castro's Osario, says that
copies of all the printed volumes mentioned in that MS. were sent to Rome
in 1766. We did not see those books, although they may be in the library.
Judging from a survey of the material in both the library and the archives
of the Vatican, one is forced to the conclusion that direct communication
between Rome and the islands was not very frequent. An examination
of the archives of the generals of the various orders might reveal more clearly
the channel through which the communications flowed.
Other collections in Rome.-Thtve must be some material in Propaganda
Fide, but it is difficult to gain access to the shelves of that institution. In
the Biblioteca de Vittorio Emanuele, which contains many MSS. from sup-
pressed convents, especially on the Jesuit missions in China, there appears
to be no Philippine material. The nearest approach to it is a manuscript
map, by Joseph Somera, of the Palaos in 1710 (see our vol. xli, p. 53, where
we reproduce this in photographic facsimile).

Bihlioteca Amhrosiana- This is one of the most famous libraries in the
world. It was founded in Milan in 1609 by Cardinal Federigo Borromeo,
who sent scholars into all the European countries to buy rare and valuable
books and MSS. Of books the library contains about 175,000, and of MSS.
over 8,000. It contains very few Philippine books, and those of no special
rarity. It is chiefly interesting to the student of Philippina because of
the Italian relation of Magalhaes's voyage by Antonio Pigafetta. In regard
to this MS. and the Ambrosian Library see post^ p. 144, and Robertson's
Magellan s voyage around the worlds ii, "Bibliography." There is also a
copy of Alonso Sanchez's report, as well as several minor documents, in
this collection. The Breda Library of Milan contains a few rare Pigafetta
titles. _
trance
Bibltotheque Nationale,- The Bibliotheque Nationale is the only library
in France to be considered by the student of Philippina. In the printed
books department are found many of the rare Philippine titles. These will
be found listed in the catalogue of printed books now under process of com-
pilation. In the manuscripts department, the two chief treasures are the
two French Pigafetta MSS. (see post, p. 240, and Robertson's Magellan's
voyage around the world y ii, " BibHography"). Some of the PhiHppine MSS.
are probably among those looted by the French armies from the Simancas
archives, which were not restored to Spain with the MSS. sent back to that
country. Worthy of mention is also the relation by the so-called Genoese
pilot of Magalhaes's voyage. Cataloguing is carefully done and research
is much more easy than in the Spanish and Italian archives.
England
British Museum,- Ks on most subjects, the British Museum contains
good collections of Philippine printed material and MSS. Among the first
are many of the rare chronicles and histories (of some of them there are two
or more copies), and many of the rarest pamphlets. The MSS. are mainly
in the Spanish language, but there are a few in English. Among the best of
the latter are Dampier's account, and Dalrymple's Plan for an attack on
the southern islands. The Spanish MSS. are catalogued in part in Pascual
Gayangos's Catalogue of the Spanish MSS. in the British Museum. They
were acquired in large part in various sales, one of which was the sale of the
Carley Castle Collection. There are also a number of manuscript maps,
which have some interest.
Mention must also be made of the Phillipps Collection which is con-
served at Cheltenham, England. This contains the Nancy MS. of Pigafet-
ta's relation (see post, pp. 239, 240; and Robertson's Magellan's voyage
around the world).

38 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Other European collections
A letter from the director of the Netherlands archives at The Hague
reports that there is no distinctive section of the archives devoted to Philip-
pine MSS. Most of the papers are written in the Dutch language, and
many treat of the Dutch expeditions to the Orient and the Dutch Oriental
possessions. It is quite probable that many MSS. of the East Indies con-
tain references to the Philippines.
Retana (Imprenta), and Pardo de Tavera {Bibl fil.^ p. 9), say that the
University of Leyden contains a good collection of Philippine books and
documents, as does also the national library of Berlin.
Retana also notes that Blumentritt's collection is rather large, and has
a practical value. It contains many of the works printed outside of Spain,
especially the recent scientific titles.
Retana (Imprenta, cols, 50, 51), records that a Russian imperial order of
November 13, 1787, requested the captain-general of the Philippines to send
Filipino grammars and vocabularies to Russia, and that the request was
granted.
Mexico
Bihlioteca NacionaL-We have made no personal examination of this
library, but from the close connection of Mexico and the Philippines until
the Mexican revolt, one would naturally expect to find many Philippine
documents in Mexico. Our first inquiries, however, resulted only in the
report that there were no Philippine MSS. whatever in the Biblioteca
Nacional. But just as our volume is going to press. Dr. H. E. Bolton, of
Texas State University (now making investigations in Mexico for the Car-
negie Institution), reports that the Philippine matter in this library is con-
tained in three volumes. One of these (consisting of 755 pages) is entitled
"Ano de 1669. Gen.^ Franc.° Garcia del Fresno. Traslado de los Autos
que precedieron p.^ encomendarle los nat.^ Del pu.° de Vigan y sus sugetos
en la Prov.* de Ylocos, que gozava. En segunda Vida D.* Ana de Sarate
por mrd. de su Magestad." The two other volumes contain copies called
"Fragmentos de la Historia de Filipinas del P. F. Juan de la Concepcion,
y Copia de la de China del P.® Jesuita Guzman," We are also indebted for
the following information regarding Philippine material in other Mexican
archives to Dr. Bolton.
Archivo General y Publico.- The basis of these archives was that of the
superior government of the Mexican viceroys, to which belonged almost
all the documents treating of the Philippines. There is considerable ma-
terial in the section entitled "Reales Cedulas." This section consists of
210 bound volumes of original cedulas and orders addressed to the viceroys
by the Spanish monarchs for the years 1609-1821. Cedulas relating to the

Philippines, and treating of many different matters, are found in almost
every volume. Many treat of the Acapulco galleon, the general commerce
of the Philippines, and funds raised in Mexico for the islands. The section
entitled " Correspondencia de los Virreyes," and consisting of 244 volumes,
contains for the period 1755-1821, a chronological file of the reports of the
viceroys to the Spanish office. Many of these relate to the Philippines.
The subjects dealt with in the ten communications touching the Philippines
in the first volume are typical. These are as follows: the despatch of the
Acapulco galleon; procedure in case of prizes; appointment of the arch-
bishop of Manila; permit to go to China; regulations for the sale of goods
brought in the galleon at the fair in Acapulco; mode of remitting royal
despatches from Mexico to the islands; and remittance of money for the
building of the Manila hospital. The section entitled "Filipinas" com-
prises about sixty volumes. The greater part of the documents of this
section consist of correspondence of the viceroy with the following: the
governor of the Philippines; the castellan of Acapulco; the port officials
of San Bias; mission authorities, both of Mexico and the Philippines; the
tribunal of the Real Consulado of Manila; and various officials of the royal
exchequer of Mexico. In addition, there are reports of the proceedings
of the Audiencias of Manila and Mexico, and expedientes relating to va-
rious miscellaneous matters. The various documents are roughly classified
chronologically. The matters most frequently met in the correspondence
are: current events in the Philippines; trade regulations; the Acapulco
galleon; remittance of situados; mission funds and supplies; transporta-
tion of missionaries; recruiting of soldiers; and financial and military
reports. None of these classes of papers seems to be complete for the period
covered. The correspondence of the governors occasionally contain val-
uable relations of the events of the islands: e.g., an extended report (1755),
of the eruption of the volcano of Taal (with a map); the report of 1755 con-
cerning the expulsion of the infidel Chinese from the Parian, and the Moro
raids; and the reports of 1757 concerning the Moro raids, the reception at
Manila of the embassy from the Moro sultan, Ali-Mudin, and the fire in
the Parian. Other sections of these archives containing Philippine mate-
rial are: "Impresos Oficiales;" "Marina;" **Misiones;" "CaHfornias;"
and "Historia." In a general way, all the subjects mentioned above are
scattered through all these sections, but yet there is some differentiation.
The section of Marina particularly contains much material concerning the
movements of vessels, whether of trade or war, between Mexico and the
islands (this material being found for the most part in the volumes devoted
to Acapulco and San Bias). The small amount of material in the section
**Historia" is mainly of the class just described. In "Impresos Oficiales"

40 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
are found numerous printed edicts, circulars, ordinances, and regulations,
concerning Philippine trade in the eighteenth century. Vol. iv contains
the Ordinanzas de la Compania de Comercio formada en la Ciudad de
Manila, 1755- Vols, i, iv, viii, and ix of the section "Misiones" contain
Philippine material. In vol. viii are documents relating to the ohra pia
of the college of San Andres (1789); and matter regarding the supplies of
the Recollect province of San Nicolas. Vols, iv and ix contain accounts
by missionaries (1665-1796). Vol. xxii of the section "Californias" con-
tains correspondence with the governor concerning the danger of an Eng-
lish expedition to the Philippines (1802). Vol. xxvi of the same section
consists almost entirely of royal cedulas relative to Dominican and Augus-
tinian missions in the Californias and Philippines (1634-1751). In vol.
xlvii are numerous documents relative to Mourelle's voyage "by the new
route of the equinoctial" (1780-1781). These include the diaries of Mou-
relle and other officers of the expedition.
Museo Nacional- The most valuable papers concern the missions.
The best of these are found in the Franciscan convent papers, which com-
prise about seventy-five large legajos and over two hundred bound volumes
(the latter of little importance) treating of miscellaneous matters. About
one-third of the legajos contain valuable reports and letters from the Fran-
ciscans in the Philippines, which are mainly addressed to the commissaries-
general of Nueva Espaiia. Some of these letters are dated as early as 1632.
but most of them are of the eighteenth century. Some of the reports treat
of the religious affairs of the entire Orient as well as of the Philippines,
Considerable matter relating to the ecclesiastical history of the islands
is to be found in a series of five volumes entitled Manuscritos varios and
belonging to the Lancaster-Jones Collection. These papers, many of
which evidently came from the archives of the archbishopric of Mexico,
date from 1567 to 18 19. The Museo Nacional also contains a copy of
Rojo's Operaciones del arzobispo de Manila (Sept. 7, 1763; see post, pp. 23 1,
232). In legajo i of a series of seven legajos is found the journal of the
same archbishop (Dec. 23, 1762; see post, p. 128). Accompanying this
is a brief notice of the death and funeral of Rojo.
We also list five MSS. belonging to one Angel Barber in the City of
Mexico, whose titles we obtained through the courtesy of Camillus Crivelli,
S. J., of Mexico.
United States
Within the United States are several notable collections of Philippina.
Both Harvard and Boston Public libraries are rich in the old Philippine
chronicles and histories. Neither library ever made any special attempt
at such collections, and the books found their way to the library shelves in

various manners. At least one of the books in the Boston Public Library
was part of the Bowditch Collection, and others are in the Ticknor Collec-
tion. There are no MSS. in Harvard, and Boston Public numbers less
than half a dozen. The State Library of Boston can boast only of a royal
decree of Madrid, September 30, 1639, in answer to a petition of Grau y
Monfalcon; and another decree of Madrid, July 10, 1786, regarding com-
merce-both printed. They were acquired in a recent shipment from
Mexico. The Massachusetts Historical Library, also in Boston, owns a
copy of Murillo Velarde's Historia.
The John Carter Brown Library, of Providence, now in possession of
Brown University, contains some of the rarest of Philippine books, but no
MSS. It contains some of the rarest Pigafetta and Magalhaes material
(see Robertson's Magellan* s voyage around the world), the rare Morga,
various editions of Leonardo de Argensola, several editions of Gonzalez
de Mendoza's Historia, etc.
Lenox.- The Lenox branch of the New York Public Library contains
a goodly list of the rarest and most valuable Philippine chronicles and his-
tories (see Bulletin, iv, no. i, 1900). There are also some good Philippine
MSS. These latter belong to the Rich Collection, which was purchased
from Mr. Obadiah Rich, the well-known book collector, about the year 1848.
The MSS. of this collection (see Bulletin, v, July, 1901) relate mainly to
Spanish America. Its source is given as follows: "The greater part of this
collection was formed by Don Antonio de Uguina, of Madrid. It com-
prises almost everything of interest that was collected for his friend Muiioz
for the Historia del Nuevo Mundo, of which only the first volume was pub-
lished. Uguina was also the friend of Navarrete, and furnished him with
many of the materials for his Coleccion de Viages, After the death of
Uguina, his MSS. were purchased by M. Ternaux Compans, of Paris, who
had already collected many MSS. on Spanish America. The whole col-
lection afterwards came into the possession of O. Rich, who added these
to some MSS. from the collection of Lord Kingsborough, and a few pro-
cured by himself in Spain." In all the collection forms 142 folio and
quarto volumes, bound in morocco. No. 6 of this collection consists of a
series of papers on the possession of the Moluccas. In regard to the docu-
ments that purport to come from the Munoz Collection, see ante, p. 30.
The presence of these documents raises the interesting question as to which
are the real Munoz documents. There are copies of the Loarca Relacion
both in Lenox and in R. A. de la H. On the other hand, the first vol. of
Alcina's Relacion, which the Traggia index at R. A. de la H. says is miss-
ing from the collection, is found in the Lenox library. The question can
only be satisfactorily solved by a detailed examination of both the MSS. of

R. A. de la H. and Lenox. We lean rather to the theory that Munoz's tran-
scripts were made in duplicate.
There are a few rare Philippine titles in Astor branch of the N. Y. Public
library. See the Bulletin for 1900. Both Lenox and Astor contain much
matter for bibliographical study.
The Hispanic Society of New York City, lately inaugurated by Mr.
Archer M. Huntington, has valuable Philippine books and MSB. However,
as the collection has not yet been opened to scholars, it is impossible to
state the extent of Philippine material. Among the books are some valuable
linguistic works, and some of the earliest chronicles of the islands.
In Philadelphia, three libraries possess rare PhiHppina. The Library
Company owns a copy of Murillo Velarde's Historia, and an Extracto his-
torial. The Widener branch of the Public Library owns a set of Concep-
cion's Historia. The American Philosophical Society owns a copy of
Salazar's Historia.
Library of Congress.- For the extent and scope of the various collections
in the Library of Congress, see the bibliography issued by the Library, con-
taining A. P. C. Griffin's List of books and P. Lee Phillips's List of maps.
The collection of books contains a number of rare titles, although there are
numerous titles that the library should have which are lacking. The only
library in the United States that can at all compete with it, so far as general
Philippina is concerned, is the Ayer Collection in Chicago. It has but
few MSS. treating directly of the Philippines; but does possess all the
records that were conserved in the island of Guam. These treat in general
of the Marianas Islands. Unfortunately, they were conserved in a place
that was liable to visitation by the sea at times, and consequently the MSS.
are in a poor state of preservation, even most of the more recent. A letter
to Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress, conserved with the Guam MSS.,
states that the archives of Guam contained in August, 1897-August, 1900,
documents of at least three classes: I. Trials and residencias. The most
interesting is that of Lieuten ant-General Don Antonio Pimentel, who gave
provisions to Woods Rogers in 17 10 just after the latter had captured the
Spanish galleon "Nuestra Senora de la Encarnacion" off the coast of Lower
California. With Rogers at that time was Alexander Selkirk, who had but
recently been rescued from the island of Juan Fernandez. II. Inventory
of effects belonging to the Jesuits at the time of their expulsion. This
shows their flourishing condition and bears testimony to their introduction
of useful arts. III. Letter books of various governors stored in the gov-
ernment house, Sept. 26, 1831-March 4, 1892, 11 vols. These letters con-
tain social and economic information, records the earthquakes, etc. There
is one volume marked "Department of War" (April 25, 1863-September

i6, 1875); ^^^ ^ fi^^ o^ Manila newspapers which are in poor condition.
The library possesses a number of broadsides, circulars, etc., some of which
were issued by Aguinaldo. There are also five numbers of the manuscript
newspaper published by the insurgents during the revolution against the
American government. The serious student of Philippina must have
recourse to the treasures of the Library of Congress.
The library of the War Department in Washington possesses a number
of Philippine titles. The only rare work is Combes's Historia.
Ayer Collection,- This is a private collection which is owned by Edward
E. Ayer, of Chicago. As soon as the American victory in Manila Bay was
cabled to the United States, Mr. Ayer, who has long been an enthusiastic
collector of Americana, ordered his agents both at home and abroad to buy
Philippina. As a consequence, his collection ranks among the best in
the world in point of value. While it does not include as many ordinary
book titles as the Library of Congress, it contains about as many of the
rarer, and has some that the Library of Congress does not possess. Many
of the books (as well as MSS.) were purchased from the C. G. de T. de F.,
and were formerly owned by W. E. Retana. In regard to MSS., this col-
lection shows the best material outside of A. de I. The MSS. embrace
almost the entire period of the Spanish regime, and while not so remarkable
in point of number of individual pieces, it is remarkable in point of value.
To mention only a few of the more important MSS., one finds here the
Viana MSS., which contain so much useful and exact economic and gov-
ernment material; the Bernaldez MS., and another MS. of the early nine-
teenth century in which is found much that is extremely valuable; the Anda
MSS.; the ecclesiastical MSS., which throw light on the troubles between
the secular and regular branches of the clergy; the Ventura del Arco tran-
scripts, copied from R. A. de la H.; and finally the two Rizal MSS.,
which throw not a little light on Rizal's life. Some of the MSS. were for-
merly in the Retana and Barrantes collections. Many were purchased from
Vindel, and some through Chadenat. All the MSS. are fully listed post.
Mention should be made here of the bamboo rolls in the collection, on which
are scratched in Mangyan characters a number of Mangyan songs. These
are translated into Tagalog by three Mangyans, Bocon, Damdam, and
Cobla, and an English version has been made by Fletcher Gardner. The
rolls are accompanied by papers on which are written the songs in the three
languages. Only the Mangyan is written on the rolls. The songs are
mainly begging and courting songs. These rolls are valuable ethnological
contributions. With unexampled generosity, Mr. Ayer, of his own voli-
tion, threw open his magnificent collection to us in the preparation of our
series, allowing the free use of his material in any way we deemed best.

University of California.-- Prof. Bernard Moses replies to our in-
quiry that the only MSS. "relating to the Philippines" in the library of
the University, "are copies of such as relate to affairs under American
administration." Speaking of the documents at Manila, he says: "We
had a plan to publish some of the most ancient of these papers, and thus
save them from the inevitable destruction that is before them in that cli-
mate, but the original commission was broken up before we were able to
carry out this design."
Leland Stanford, Jr., University .- This library possesses no rare printed
Philippina. It does possess some MSS., all of which are modern, and
some of them since American occupation. The collection embraces judi-
cial, educational, revolutionary, and other papers. We present in brief in
this place a note regarding the collection received from Melvin G. Dodge,
associate librarian of the university, which was made by one of the instruct-
ors of the university. We have not listed the MSS. among the manuscript
titles.

BIBLIOGRAPHY- INTRODUCTION 47
We have yet to touch upon a few special features, either belonging to the
realm of bibliography or closely connected therewith.
Linguistics,- Books printed in the various languages and dialects of the
Philippine Islands, and grammars and lexicons, form a considerable part
of many collections. The C. G. de T. de F. has more linguistic titles than
any other collection, numbering 1,702. These include 79 corridas or ro-
mances, 17 other works resembling corridas. Many of these titles had
formerly belonged to W. E. Retana. Pardo de Tavera possesses many
linguistic titles, his collection extending to all the languages of Oceanica.
The Ayer Collection shows some hundreds of titles (which were mainly
gathered by Dr. Doherty), among which are many that are rare. The
library of Peabody Institute of Baltimore, which possesses the scarce third
volume of Mas, and a Mallat with the atlas, makes a specialty of collecting
linguistic titles. As yet the collection is small, but it is very choice, and
numbers some of the rarest titles. It is gratifying to note that several
American scholars have taken up the systematic study of the languages and
dialects of the Philippines. The work done by Dr. Frank R. Blake, of
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, holds chief place. A letter from Dr.
Blake thus describes the work and its results: "The work in Philippine
languages begun at the Johns Hopkins University in 1901 is still going on.
It was designed to give instruction in the principal Philippine languages,
and publish articles on various important topics of Philippine grammar.
Beginning with 1901, instruction has been given in Tagalog, Bisayan, and
Ilokan, as well as in the kindred idiom, Malay. A series of lectures on the
native tribes of the Philippines was also given twice during the period. A
scientific Tagalog grammar has been prepared, and manuals of other im-
portant dialects have been projected. A number of articles on various topics
of Philippine philology have been published by myself and my students,
Dr. W. G. Seiple, now professor of Hebrew in the Reformed Church college
in Japan, and Dr. L. B. Wolfenson of Baltimore. The following is a list
of these, viz. :
"By F. R. Blake.— Study of Philippine languages at Johns Hopkins
University; in American Anthropologist, 1902, iv, p. 793. Sanskrit loan

"Other articles in a more or less advanced stage of completion await
publication, the most important and extensive being the Tagalog grammar
above mentioned. No bibliography of Philippine languages has yet been
published by the university, but I have prepared such a bibliography on
cards, and expect to publish it as soon as I can find the time."
Dr. David J. Doherty, of Chicago, who is one of the warmest champions
of immediate Filipino independence, and who is now in the Philippines, has
been working for some time in the various Filipino languages. He is at-
tempting to amalgamate the seven chief languages of the Christian popula-
tion into one common tongue. To this end he has compiled on cards a
dictionary of the Tagalog language, to which he has added the words as used
by the natives in the other languages. When the work is complete, he pro-
poses to ask the Philippine Academy to decide which words should be given
the preference in the common language, and the attempt will be made to bring
the words into general usage through the assistance of the literati and press.
Dr. Doherty has gathered many phonograph records with specimens of the
various languages on them, in order that he may have the correct intona-
tion and accent of the words. A letter received some time ago from him
states that his dictionary was ready for press, and he expected the Philippine
government to publish it. The work was done throughout with the aid of
native Filipinos of education.
In answer to a letter of inquiry regarding his work, Willard A. Goodell,
of North Truro, Mass., and formerly a missionary in the Philippines,
writes us as follows concerning his work: "Although I became somewhat
proficient in the use of the Tagalog dialect - sufficiently so that I was able
to preach in it for the last two years that I was in the islands - and although
I did considerable work translating for our mission, upon our Hymnal,
Sunday-school lessons, handbooks for native workers, etc., as well as
supervising the translation of Stalker's Life of Christ, still I cannot really
cite you to one work, which is mine as a translator. The entire style of the
Malay dialects is so decidedly different from western tongues and so diffi-
cult to acquire that one must needs be long among the people before his
acquired knowledge of the language would be as safe a guide to idiomatic
accuracy as the instinct of the native. To this instinct, we were accustomed
regularly to appeal and upon it to rely in our translations. I doubt i{ any
other mode of translation is safe. I was repeatedly assured by Tagalogs

that no Spanish friars had ever become perfectly idiomatic in their use of
Tagalog. I have seen certain of their translations which were clearer to
my Latin-trained mind than to the Tagalog in whose language they pur-
ported to read. If I had been able to return for a second term of work, the
translation of several standard religious works (with such native help as I
should need), had already been assigned me as one of my chief tasks.'*
Maps and cartography.- Probably the best collection of manuscript maps
is that of the A. de I. (with the possible exception of the following). For
a list of these see Torres Lanzas's Relacion descriptiva de los mapaSy pianos y
etCy de Filipinas (Madrid, 1897). See also posty p. 59, for the title of a
map missed by the compiler. There is also a large plan of Cavite dated
1659, ^^^^ ^o ^^ archives by the ministry of war, which is not included in
the list. The Deposito Hidrografico of Madrid also possesses a collection of
manuscript maps, some of which are probably duplicates of those in A. de I.
It is likely that this bureau also possesses copies of many printed maps.
The manuscript map in Biblioteca Vittorio Emanuele of the Palaos, we
have already noted. The Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris has compara-
tively few Philippine maps. At the British Museum is a large collection of
printed maps, and a few manuscript maps. The latter are as follows:
Bowery, T.:- Island of Mindanao or Magendanao with chart. Add.
MSS. 5,222, art. 9.
Camelli, G. J.:- Drawings of trees in the Philippine Islands, with de-
scriptions in Latin. Add. MSS. 5,288.

The collection of engraved maps in the Library of Congress is a notable
one. See P. Lee PhiUips's List of maps, charts, and views, which accom-
panies Griffin's List of books. This shows 860 maps, etc., ranging in date
from Magellan's time (reproductions) to 1903. General maps of various

parts of the world, containing the Philippine Islands, are not listed in Phil-
lips's bibliography. Since then a number of maps have been acquired.
Chief among them is a copy of the famous Murillo Velarde map, which was
engraved by a Filipino in 1734. This map is described in our vol. xlix,
p. 63, note 25. Without the accompanying figures, this map is reproduced
in Murillo Velarde's Historian from an engraving of 1744. It was also
reproduced by Bellin in 1752, and in his Pet, atlas mar, (Paris, 1764); and
in Hist, Besch. Reizen (Amsterdam, 1758), xvii, p. 28. See also the mono-
graphs by Pardo de Tavera and Gabriel Marcel regarding this map. Mr.
Phillips is preparing at the present time a bibliography of atlases (both
world and of special localities), which will contain a Philippine section.
He is also preparing a bibliograhpy of universal cartography with copious
annotations. This will contain much useful information concerning maps
and their makers. The War Department Library in Washington possesses
some good Spanish maps. The Hydrographic Oflfice of the War Depart-
ment at Washington has published various maps; and the oflBce gathers
data for maps and charts from every available source, by which they cor-
rect the maps of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Charts are furnished
to all naval vessels, and sold to all vessels desiring them. The United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey opened a sub-office at Manila, September 19,
1900. Since that time the work of the department has been carried on con-
tinuously, and many harbor and coast lines have been surveyed and
charted, and the charts issued to the public at the cost of production. There
is a complete set of these maps and charts at the office of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey at Washington, and two sets are deposited in the Library
of Congress. Sailing directions for the Philippine Islands have been pub-
lished, as well as a catalogue of the maps and charts of the Survey (see
post, p. 64). See the annual reports of the Philippine branch of the Sur-
vey in the Reports of the Philippine Commission. Under the auspices of
the government was published in 1900 the atlas prepared under the care of
the Jesuits at Manila, which accompanies the two-vol. Archipielago filipina.
Many maps and coast and harbor charts are reproduced in the Gazetteer
of the Philippine Islands (Washington 1902). The American Geographi-
cal Society issued a map in 1905 made up from the then latest data of the
War Department. See also post, in the activities of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs.
Pp. 19, 20 of vol. iv of Bulletin of the N. Y. Public Library list a few
Philippine maps. The Ayer Collection contains many Philippine maps.
These are mainly printed, although there are a few in manuscript.
There are some in the MS. on the Rio Grande de Mindanao; and one dated
London, 17 19, by Rob't Friend, and showing various Oriental islands, is

drawn on parchment. There is also a loose printed map which shows the
lower course of the Rio Grande de Mindanao, dated 1886, which was issued
by the "Seccion topografica" of the Philippine government. This was
purchased by Mr. Ayer from C. G. de T. de F., who priced it at 25 francs.
It had formerly belonged to Retana, who had in turn purchased it of Vindel.
The latter had acquired it from the heirs of General Terrero. Mr. Ayer's
librarian, Miss Clara A. Smith, is at present compiling an index of all the
maps of the collection, whether loose or contained in atlases, a portion
of which will be devoted to Philippine maps. This index will be arranged
chronologically by localities, and also by authors when known, and when
obtainable, the name of the engraver will be given. Maps are listed in
Maximilian Brose's Litteraturverzeichnis ( q, v,,post, p. 61). See the various
maps (both printed and manuscript) reproduced in this series, as well as
the map prepared especially for it; and vol. ii, p. 66, note 26, also vol.
XLix, p. 205, note 130.
Photographs and views.- The Philippine American government pos-
sesses a large collection of photographs. Hon. Dean C. Worcester, of the
Philippine Commission, also possesses a fine collection, many of which are of
great value ethnologically. Through the cooperation of Mr. Worcester,
Mr. Ayer has obtained copies of all the photographs in the above two col-
lections. These relate to all the tribes of the Philippines that have been
studied, illustrating manners and customs, industries, etc., and to various
localities. In all Mr. Ayer's collection numbers more than 5,000, all of
which are 5x7 inches in size. His collection is accompanied by a type-
written index and description. Copies of these photographs are being made
for the Field Museum, Chicago, from Mr. Ayer's collection. In the Na-
tional Museum at Washington, is a third collection of photographs. The
first instalment of this collection was sent by Rounseville Wildman, American
Consul at Singapore, before the Spanish-American war. The second instal-
ment consisted of about 200 photgraphs, which were given by Colonel H. H.
Hilder, many of them taken by the donor. The third instalment is an
almost complete set of the Worcester collection. The fourth instalment
consists of some negatives sent in by the German scientist, A. B. Meyer.
Photographs are extremely valuable for ethnological study. "^
'The Harper'' s Weekly for March 31, 1883 (vol. xirii, no. 1371) publishes an interesting
and curious article by Lafcadio Heam, the famous writer, so well known for his articles on
Japanese life. The article is called "Saint Malo. A lacustrine village in Louisiana." This
village is located at the southeastern comer of Lake Borgne, not far distant from New
Orieans, and was the home, says Heam, who was sent as special correspondent by the above
paper to visit the settlement, for about a half century, of a colony of Tagalogs from the Phil-
ippine Islands. In this marshy country, they lived as nearly in the manner of their own land
as possible, with the exception that those who had families kept them in New Orleans, as there

Museums.- The two most notable museums are that of the Museo-Bi-
blioteca de Ultramar (already described, ante, pp. 31, 32), and that of the
National Museum, Washington. Owing to the crowded condition of the
latter, it has been impossible to suitably display all of the Philippine collec-
tion. Besides a few models of the inhabitants of the archipelago, the collection
can boast of considerable material for ethnological study, consisting of
basketry, weapons, etc. The aim in making the collection is to show the
serious industrial life of the inhabitants of the Philippines. From this col-
lection, trained scientists are studying the connection of the American Indian
with the Orient -in short, are endeavoring to reconstruct into tangible
facts the story of the Pacific Ocean, and migrations of peoples across it.
The National Museum is in touch with men who are engaged in active field
work in the Philippines, and with army and navy officers, from whom results
are continually being received.
Bureau of Insular Affairs - This bureau was created after the Spanish-
American war as a component part of the War Department. It has held
an important place in the history of the Philippines since that time. The
publication department of the bureau is doing an important work in con-
nection with the insular territory belonging to the United States. As regards
the Philippines (and the same is true of all American insular possessions),
the various lines of activity are as follows:
1. The collection of all Senate and House documents, reports, hearings
before committees, and all acts, treaties, and resolutions; also briefs and
decisions of the Supreme Court.
2. The collection of all publications issued by all departments and
bureaus of the U. S., which are not published as government documents.
3. Collection of all reports and all monographs issued by the Philippine
government.
4. Collection of all orders and circulars issued by the military authorities
of the Philippines, as well as all circulars and general orders emanating from
the office of the adjutant-general of the U. S. army.
5. Collection of speeches regarding the islands by public men.
6. Collection of maps. These include the maps issued by the Geodetic
and Coast Survey, and other departments of the government. The Philip-
pine maps now in possession of the bureau number 2,505, and there are 450
different kinds. They include charts, blue prints, and topographical maps,
were no women in the place. The houses were built on piles rising out of the water or marshy
ground, and the under part was reserved as in the Philippines for swine and fowls. All the
men were fishermen, and their chief diversion was gambling. They spoke their own language
or Spanish. Above all, they maintained their identity, and refused to be merged in the
population about them. Some interesting views are shown with this article. There is also
at the present time a colony of Malays in the British West Indies.

7. From time to time, compilations and monographs are prepared in the
office and published. Also the Bureau pubUshes a quarterly (formerly
monthly) summary of the commerce of the islands, and has under prepara-
tion at the present time (April, 1907) a second edition of the acts, treaties,
etc., of the 58th Congress. A useful compilation of the land laws of the
Philippines has also been published. The Bureau also publishes annually
the acts of the Philippine Commission, and the report of the same. A
second edition of the Gazetteer of the Philippine Islands has been prepared
and is practically ready for press. It is also part of the work of this bureau
to give out press notices. Bound files of Manila papers are also kept.
The various documents are bound into separate volumes, all extraneous
matter being thrown away, and a typewritten contents page made for each
volume, so that consultation is rendered easy. The Bureau has also
prepared an analytical index of all the documents, but it has not yet been
published for want of an appropriation. This is of great value, and will
facilitate research in the many rich government documents that have been
published on the Philippines since American occupation. See the annual
reports of the chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs for 1901-1906, where
the work of the bureau is well outlined. In the publication rooms of the
bureau are the galley proofs of the five volumes of insurgent papers, which
are compiled by Captain John R. M. Taylor, U. S. A. These papers, not-
withstanding their importance, are still awaiting a special appropriation from
Congress in order that they may be published. Vols, i and ii consist mainly
of compilations by the editor, and to them are appended bibliographical
lists of books consulted in the compilation.
The pamphlets, monographs, etc., being published continually by the
various branches of the Philippine government are very important and merit
study. Many of these form the first studies ever made in the field covered
by them, for during the entire Spanish regime there was but little scientific
study that merited the name. There is an excellent opening for earnest
scientific work that will prove of lasting value. The Bureau of Govern-
ment Laboratories has already justified its creation in the work that has
emanated therefrom. For the various publications of this bureau, see the
inside cover pages of the various bulletins.
Sales catalogues.- One of the most prolific sources for the study of Philip-
pine bibliography is offered by the sales catalogues of booksellers of various
countries. We have listed a very few of such catalogues in section 11 of our
bibliography of printed titles, but have made no effort to list them all. He
who desires to avail himself of such study may consult the catalogues of the
following: Anllo, Capdeville, Cuesta, Bernardo Rico, Gabriel Sanchez,
Perdiguero, Victoriano Suarez, Viuda de Rico, Eugenio Garcia Rico, and P.

sind. Mit einem Anhange: Bibliotheca Philippina. Alphabetisch ge-
ordnete Sammlung einer Anzahl von Druckschriften und Manuscripten
linguistischen, geographischen, ethnographischen, historischen und natur-
wissenschaftlichen Inhalts, die auf die Philippinen Bezug haben. [Lett-
meritz: 1882-1885.] Pp. viii, 131, (i), (6), 64. 4°.
There are two parts with the above title. On the title-page of part i, is the imprint
*'Druck von Dr. Karl Pickert in Leitmeritz.'* The title-page to part 2 shows no imprint.
The preface of part i (dedicated to J. C. Labhart-Lutz, consul at Manila) has a preface
dated Leitmeritz, July 14, 1882. Pp. 1-79 contain the Vocabulary of which Retana says
many of the words are what are called "Kitchen Spanish," or Spanish words Tagalized.
The bibliography is divided into three parts: I. Linguistic titles (printed and manuscript),
pp. 83-88. n. Printed titles, pp. 91-127. HI. Manuscripts (other than linguistic),
pp. 128-13 1. Q^ *^c obverse of p. 131 are two other linguistic titles, and one printed title.
The preface of part 2 (dedicated to T. H. Pardo de Tavera) is dated "Leitmeritz, July 15,
1885." The Vocabular occupies pp. 1-25; and the bibliography, pp. 29-35 (Linguistic
titles, printed and manuscript), and pp. 39-64 (printed and manuscript), in all, citing 43 1
numbers (some of which contain several titles). A note on the title-page of the Ayer copy
says that this work was not sold in the market. Notwithstanding their inaccuracies and
errors, these vocabularies will be found extremely useful for preliminary studies of the
Philippines. The titles listed are not confined to the Spanish. See Pardo de Tavera,
Biblioteca flipina, pp. 63-65; and Retana, Aparato bibiiogrdficoy iiy pp. 929, 930. See also
Griffin's List, p. 3, where it appears that the Library of Congress possesses but the first

On pp. 232-248 is a bibliographical list of Philippine titles arranged alphabetically by
authors. This list contains many inaccuracies and errors, and is of little value. Retana
says {Bihl. fil., p. 194) that this work was first published by articles in the Revista de Filipinas
and that bad as it is, it is one of the "least bad of those of recent years." Pardo de
Tarera, in Bihl. jf/., p. 277, says that it is of no value; and notes that he speaks of Piga-
fetta as "the pretended companion of Magallanes." Moya y Jimenez was an artillery
commander in the Philippines.

The bibliography occupies pp. 229-430. It is not at all complete, and contains some
errors. Cited by Retana, Aparato hibl.y ii, pp. 992, 993. The author has published numer-
ous other works, among them Ruditnentos de geografia descriptiva (Manila, 1872), that
contains a number of blunders that can be excused only by the grossest kind of
ignorance.

In Catdlogo de la exposicion general de las Islas Filipinas celebrada en Madrid inaugurada

The Corridos, as explained by Barrantes, constitute the popular poetry of the Filipinos,
and are comparable to the old Spanish romances, relations, etc. Fifty-six titles are re-
corded, each accompanied by a Spanish translation, and to each one the beginning and
conclusion are given, and various comments. Retana {Aparato hihl., iii, p. 1068), says
that Barrantes has listed under the title of Corridos, titles not properly so. The Ayer
Collection contains many titles of Corridos. Retana, Catdlogo, p. viii, criticises the biblio-
graphical work of Barrantes severely for lack of precision, but praises his comments.
El teatro tagalo. Madrid: M, G. Hernandez, 1889 (on the cover

guages (pp. 167-199), both made partly from memory, and consequently of doubtful value.

them in his Catdlogo ahreviado (Madrid, 1898). The forms of La Politica were utilized in

Appendix B in Retana's edition of Joaquin Martinez de Zuniga's Estadismo de las
Islas Filipinas 6 mis viajes por este pais, (Madrid: [Imprenta de la viuda de M. Minuesa
de los Rios], 1893. 2 vols., 8°), ii, pp. 93*-*352. This bibliography is divided into two
parts - introduction, in which is given some history of printing in the Philippines from
its introduction to the present era; and a list of "works cited by Father Zuniga, those
consulted by us for the compilation of these appendices, and other works which have been
the object of our examination through their scientific merit, or because of their rarity."
Pp. io5*-i23* comprise a valuable list of **the presses, printers, and places where there
were or are presses." In the list of titles (384 in all, many of which were formerly in the
valuable Gayangos collection), are some facsimiles of title-pages of rare imprints. In the
prologo of vol. i, there is bibliographical matter by Retana on pp. vii-xxxviii, in which
various interesting and important details concerning Martinez de Zuniga's writings are to
be found. On p. xviii, it is to be noted that Retana mentions the translation of Le
Gentil made by Martinez de Zuniga {q.v., p. 374), the location of which he does not know,
and asserts - following the statement of Martinez de Zuniga, viz., *' although M. Le
Gentil does not believe it; see my note to these voyages, which I have translated into
Spanish, and which are being printed''- that this translation was printed. It is
probable, however, that none of this translation was printed, and that Martinez de
Zuniga simply made the statement in view of the fact that it was ready for the press. See

that nothing had ever been written on the island of Mindanao.

(Retana's nom de plume), taken from La Oceania Espanolay of Manila, Oct., 1887.
This work was first published in various numbers of La Politica de Espana en Filipinas
{q.v., ante, p. 57), and the forms as published there were utilized for the above publication,
so that many of the right-hand pages are blank or almost so (see Pardo de Tavera's
Bihl. fil.f p. 354). Reedited and enlarged, it is published as a monograph in Retana^s
Aparato hihl.f iii, nos. 4461-4623.
Epitome de la bibliografia general de Filipinas. 1 895-1 898.
This is published in Retana's Archivo (Madrid, 1895-1898) as follows: I. No. 11,
pp. 84, titles, 1-270; II. No. 13, pp. 56, titles, 271-505; III. No. 5, pp. 48, titles, 506-720;
IV. No. 9, pp. 98, titles, 721-1,167. This was to have been continued in future volumes
of the Archivo, but the publication of the series stopped until 1905, and the epitome was
never resumed. However, since the titles published in these four volumes are those for-
merly contained in the collection owned by Retana, and sold to the Compania general de
Tabacos de Filipinas, Barcelona, the continuation will be found in Retana's Bibliografia
flipina (Madrid, 1898), and all the titles will be found as well in Retana 's Aparato
hihl. The first four volumes, bearing dates 1895, 1896, 1897, and 1898, respectively,
were published by La Viuda de M. Minuesa de los Rios, and the fifth volume, dated 1905,
by Libreria general de Victoriano Suarez. The documents published by Retana are rare
imprints, original MSS. from various archives, and contemporary compilations. He also
publishes in the first four volumes, a partial list of the books in his library (see above);
and in volume v, some historical bibliographical notes (see below). For the titles of the
documents, etc. presented by Retana in the first four vols., see Griffin's List', and Pardo
de Tavera's Bihl. fl., p. 355, no. 2354. The contents of the fifth vol. are as follows: I.
Itinerario del P. Custodio Fray Martin Ignacio, franciscano (reproduced from the first
edition, Roma, 1585) - [see our vol. vi, pp. 134-153, where we have reproduced the Itinerario

published in La Politica de Espana, vii, pp. 20-23, 47"49> 67-69. See the title immediately
following. Medina takes high rank as a bibliographer, as his Philippine and American
bibliographies show. A native of Chile, and at first interested solely in American bib-
liographical research, he was led to his research in Philippina by noting that it overlaps
to a considerable degree with Mexicana. Much of Retana's work appears to have been
suggested by Medina. See other titles by Medina, post, pp. 59, 62, 80, 92.

much bibliographical information, is divided as follows : notes on the earliest printing in
the Philippines; early printing and the press of the college of Santo Tomas; press of the
Franciscans; press of the Jesuits; press of the ecclesiastical seminary; press of the
Augustinians ; Filipino engravers; general considerations in regard to Filipino printers
and books; libraries of Filipino books. Following the introduction are several
documents on printing in the Philippines. Retana says (Vindel, CatdJogo, iv, p. 283,
no. 1473), that this work is, strictly speaking, the first complete bibliography that has been
compiled of printing in the Philippines. See the continuation of this work, post^ p. 62.

Although the imprint reads "1897,'' the colophon on p. 556 states that the printing
was finished Aug. 10, 1898.
Retana {Bihl. fil., p. 449) describes a de luxe edition (10 copies only). The above edi-
tion was limited to 200 copies. This work was first published in tomo xcvii of the Andes
de la universidad de Chile. Describes 667 titles. Medina defines "Spanish bibliography
of the Philippine Islands" as follows: "the subject matter, the place of printing, the
language in which they are written [Spanish and Latin] and the nationality of the authors
are the fundamental bases of classification." No MSS. or books printed in the Philippines
are included, the latter already having been listed in La Imprenta de Manila. Some
documents from the Archive de Indias are, however, presented in illustration of various
titles. There are also numerous biographical notices, and many references to other
bibliographers. The work is carefully done, and is one of the best sources for the study
of Philippina. It is highly praised by Retana (Vindel's CatdlogOy iv, p. 283, no. 1474).

etc., ranging in date from 1 565-1 847 (many of which are MSS.). A number of these have
been reproduced in photographic facsimile in our series. Author (where known), size,
and location of each are given. Torres Lanzas has missed a few maps, among which
may be noted the following: "Piano de la nueva Alcayzeria que debe construirse en el

Audiencia de Filipinas; consultas, expedientes y resoluciones del consejo, camara y
ministros; aiios 1777-1801; leg. 2°." It is possible that maps of later date than 1847
will be found at the Hydrographical oflSce in Madrid. This is a work of great value to
the Philippine researcher.

Edition limited to 85 copies (5 de luxe)y only 40 of which were put on sale. In addition
one was bound up for the author's own use, in which are manuscript additions and notes.
This is now the property of the Compania general de Tabacos de Fihpinas, which pur-
chased ail the Retana collection. Describes 2,697 titles which are arranged chrono-
logically. The prologo (pp. v-xxxviii) contains valuable information concerning his own
and other bibliographies of Philippina; and in regard to valuable collections of Philip-
pina. It is to be noted in this connection that the statement that there are no printed
books in Archivo general de Indias is too sweeping. Those archives possess several of
the rarer titles, among which is Alvarez de Abreu's Extracto historiaJ. On pp. xiiii-
xxvii is a list of 112 newspapers that were published in the Philippines from 1811-1898.
This work is carefully done and is of great use to the bibliographer and student. It
contains few works outside of Spanish and the languages of the Philippines.

The contents of this book are as follows: establishment of printing in the Philippines;
presses of the Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits, seminary, and Augustinians ; Filipino
engravers; many unpublished MSS.; binding; libraries containing Philippina; Jesuit
inventory {q.v., post, p. 93); list of titles, corrections, and additions (16-19 centuries);
list of the Manila imprints described by Medina and Retana (in all 541 titles; see Medina"*s
Imprenta en Manila, ante, p. 58, and post, p. 80). The corrections and additions to
Medina's work are given under 212 heads; of which 120 are titles not mentioned by

1907, Retana says: *'The Catdlogo de los Jibros que ofrece en venta W. E. Retana^ without
date, was published in 1902. As a matter of fact the books belonged to the Compania
de Tabacos de Filipinas, and the company managed the sale, making use of my name
to exploit it better. At that time (1902), I was governor of Teruel, and did not consider
it prudent to date the pamphlet." There are 906 titles. Such rare books as Acosta^s
Tractado de las Jro^^i ^ (Burgos, 1578), Aduarte'*s Historia (Manila, 1640; and
Zarago^a, 1693), and Alvarez de Abreu's Extracto historid (Madrid, 1736) are found
therein.

of Congress. A list of books (with references to periodicals) on the
Philippine Islands in the Library of Congress. . . . With chrono-
logical list of maps in the Library of Congress by P. Lee Phillips. Wash-
ington: Government Printing Office, 1903. Pp. xv, (i), 397. Indices. 4°.
The first part of the volume fills pp. 1-265. ^^ contains titles actually in the library
when the bibliography was made or titles already ordered of dealers (pp. 1-177, and
228-232; many of them being government documents, but some of them the rarest of
the works on history); United States Consular Reports (pp. 178-180); articles in
periodicals (pp. 181-226 and 233); MSS. (p. 227); and author and subject indices. The
second part shows a list of 860 maps, charts, and plans, ranging in date from 1599 to 1897.
The book titles are arranged by subject, and the list is of great use to the student. It is
highly praised by Retana in his Aparato bibliogrdfico (1906). Both the list of books and
that of maps have been consulted frequently in the course of the present series. In one
volume, together with Dr. Pardo de Tavera's Biblioteca filipina (q.v,y post, p. 62), this
was published first as Senate Document no. 74, 2d session of the 57th Congress.

Llorens Asensio, Vicente : — La primera vuelta al mundo. Relacion
documentada del viaje de Hernando de Magallanes y Juan Sebastian
del Cano. — 1519-1522. Sevilla: Imp. de la "Guia Comercial," 1903.
Pp. 179, (i). 16°.
On pp. 17-32 are presented two original documents whose originals exist in Archivo
general de Indias: the first, the memorial presented to Carlos I by Magalhaes and Faleiro;
the second, the agreement between the Spanish sovereigns and the above two men for the
discovery of the spice islands. Several facsimiles of original signatures are given. The
narrative of the author occupies pp. 33-70, and his annotations, pp. 71-85. The most
important part of the book is the citation of documents in the Archive general de Indias
with indication of those already published (incomplete), and presentation of some of those
never before published (in all, 208 titles, with dates 1493-1568), pp. 88-179. This list of
titles includes those immediately connected with the first voyage proper, the bulls of Alex-
ander VI, and those concerning various matters that grew out of the concession bulls and
the voyage.

de las Islas Filipinas, de Jolo y Marianas. Washington : Government
Printing Office, 1903. Pp. 439. 4°.
Arranged alphabetically. Describes 2850 titles. Printed from the same plates as the
edition bound with the bibliography of the Library of Congress. Contains a prologo in
Spanish. Many of the titles are annotated with critical notes and biographies of the
authors. For some of the titles, location of copies is given. Retana (Aparato hihliogrdfcoy
i, pp. vii, viii; iii, p. 1479) criticises this work harshly, seemingly with a great deal of per-
sonal feeling. Pardo de Tavera's prologo contains considerable important bibliographical
information. It was the aim of the compiler to furnish a good working bibliography
rather than one replete with minute descriptions that would appeal more to the bibliophile.
The author of this work is well known as a scholar and as a member of the Philippine
Commission.

In this vol., Medina adds new nos. 421-565 (pp. 5-150), and adds (pp. 153-196) to the
old numbers of his vol. of 1896 various data. Many biographical notes are appended to
the various authors. The author acknowledges aid from Retana's La imprenta en Fili-

political. This catalogue was in great part compiled by W. E. Retana (1800 titles), while
others were furnished by the younger Barrantes, and Vindel himself furnished some of the
matter. Vindel acquired all of Medina's rare titles; many of those of the duque de T'Ser-
claes; the entire collection of Barrantes; and other collections (see Retana, Aparato

In El Renacimiento for September 10, 1907. In this article Retana advances the idea
for the celebration of the third anniversary of printing from movable type in the Philip-
pines (1610); but the usefulness of the suggestions are greatly obscured by the writer's
unfortunate display of arrogant egotism and his complaints of lack of recognition by the
Filipinos.

Leon Pinelo, Antonio de : — Epitome de la biblioteca oriental i occi-
dental, nautica i geografica. . . . Madrid: luan Gonzalez, 1629.
Pp. (88), 186, xij, (i). 40.
The author was an official of the Council of the Indies. In his work he gives titles of
both printed books and MSS., and although wanting at times in exactness, and often
omitting dates, his work is extremely useful. He was the first bibliographer to list Philip-
pine titles. Titulo vii (pp. 80-82) is devoted entirely to Moiuccan and Phihppine titles.
Retana, who says that this is the first colonial bibliography ever published, gives (Apa-
rato bibliogrdfico, pp. 95, 96), Leon Pinelo ""s Philippine titles. Imprints of Macabebe
and other rare titles before 1628 are listed. See Retana's Aparato hihliogrdfco, i.
Nicolas Antonio (see post), copied Leon Pinelo 's book almost wholly. Job Ludolfo in
his Commentaries to his Historia de Etiopia included the titulo entire that treats of those
kingdoms. Alonso Lasor de Varea (pseudonym of Rafael Savonarola) copied considerable
in his Orhe de la tierra delineado con las plumas de los escritores, especially the geographical
part. Rodriguez, the Trinitarian, in his Bihliotheca Faleniina, Quetif and Echard
(see post\ Juan de San Antonio, O. S. F., (see post), also used the work, and it is praised
by many authors. The vol. owes its origin to a private list of books concerning the Indies,
asked of Leon Pinelo by the duke of Medina de las Torres. See Barcia, i, proemio. The
copy of this rare book examined by us belongs to the Boston Public Library, and came
originally from the convent of San Joseph de Tacubaya, as a manuscript note by the
librarian of the convent states. See post, the second edition of this work, with additions
and corrections by Gonzalez de Barcia (Madrid, 1737, 1738). Ochoa, CatdJogo raxonado,
p. 82, mentions a manuscript copy as existing in the Biblioth^que Royalle of Paris. It was
made about the end of the seventeenth century and consists of 77 leaves, bound in parch-
ment.

Leon Pinelo^s Epitome of 1629 {q.v,y ante) serves as the basis for this work, but it is
very greatly enlarged. Titulo vii of vol. ii is devoted entirely to Philippine and Moluccas
historical titles; and other sections of the work contain Philippine titles (among them
Magalhaes and Pigafetta material). A most important work, not only for the study of the
Philippines, but for America, and other parts. The Lenox copy is a large paper copy

This is the second edition, and has additions and corrections by Antonio himself. The
author was a knight of the Order of Santiago, a canon in the church, procurator general
at the Roman papal court, and royal counselor. He died in April, 1684. The preface
bears date May 15, 1787. The book is written in Latin, and the authors' names are

Real Sociedad Aragonesa of that city, of which he was a native. He mentions the Arago-
nese writers who went to the PhiHppines (all members of the religious orders), and names
their productions, both printed books and MSS., as well as all others who wrote concerning
the Philippines. The Ticknor collection of the Boston Public Library contains a set of
this rare work. It covers the dates 1500-1802.

that were sent him. On folio 468 is the following note by Obadiah Rich, the bookseller:
"I found this MS. at a bookstall during the fair at Madrid in 1830. Twenty reeds of vellon

the death of the author March 23, 18 17, only 184 pp. of the first vol. had been printed.
The continuance of the publication is due to his nephew, Rafael Enriquez Trespalados
Beristain. This book contains some rare titles treating of the Philippines, as well as bio-
graphical notices. It is an important work. See Medina^s estimate of this work (Im-
prenta en Manila, pp. Ixviii, Ixix). The copy owned by Lenox branch of the N. Y. Public

Some few of the titles have matter pertaining to the Philippines. Retana praises Ter-

books in Castilian, Catalan, Portuguese or otherwise of Spanish interest.
London: February, 1895. Pp. xvii, 250. 4°.
Contains many Philippine titles in section vi, Indias, Africa, Asia, both historical and
linguistic. This catalogue is interesting as showing the value of Philippina at so late a pe-
riod of the Spanish regime as 1895. These prices should be compared with those of the
present day. Also see other catalogues (especially those since 1898), issued by Quaritch;
and Robertson's Magellan, ii, pp. 280, 282, 283, 290, 291, 292, 311.

post, pp. 391-99). Although Vindel's prices are so high as to render almost prohibitive
any purchases from him, his catalogues are well worth study by the bibliographer or
student. Catalogue vols, iv and v, we Hst under '"'Bibliographies*' as they treat entirely of
Philippine titles (see antCy pp. 62, 63).

two editions. The so-called fourth edition was published at Madrid in 1627, and the so-

There is considerable bibliographical information contained in the lires of the various
Jesuits; and this author is cited frequently by Sommervogel in his Bibliotheque. The
map is the first detailed chart of the Philippines published. It was engraved in 1744 by
the native Filipino Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay, although the first engraving (published
separately) seems to have been in 1734. It is even yet esteemed a good map. Besides
using this author widely for annotation, we have made special use of his work as follows:

tury. By Antonio de Morga. Translated from the Spanish, with notes
and a preface, and a letter from Luis Vaez de Torres, describing his voyage
through the Torres Straits. London: Printed for the Hakluyt Society,
1868. Pp. xxiv, (2), 431. Index. 8°.
Pp. i-vi contain bibliographical matter.

Rev. T. C. Middleton, O. S. A., says that Rev. Casimiro Herrero, O. S. A., bishop of
Nueva Caceres, aided Barrantes greatly in this work. Appendix iv (pp. 253-256) is en-
titled in the index ""Escritores que han producido los conventos de Filipinas." This is
laudatory of the work of the friar in literary lines. Pardo de Tavcra, Bibl. fil.y p. 28, no.
91, says that the work has no value, and was written to defend the religious communities.

deneyra, 1870. 6 vols. 8°.
Retana {Aparato hihl., \i, p. 766) says that this is one of the best works for the study of
Philippine bibliography. It contains many references to Philippine titles, and many ex-
tracts and old documents, etc. We have used it extensively in the annotation of our series.
As first written by Ferrando, it contained the Dominican history of the Philippines until
1840. His unpublished work was reedited by Fonseca, who added an appendix bringing
the work down to date.
Fernandez de Castro, Manuel : — Notas para un estudio bibliografico

There are various references to Phihppine titles (see pp. 47, 78, 90, 98, no, 129, 1301
138, 142, 143). The author was inspector-general of the corps of mining engineers, and
director of the Comision del mapa geologico. This book is reprinted from the Bulletin
of the Comision del mapa geologico de Espaiia.
Mallada, Lucas: — Sinopsis de las especies fosiles que se han encontrado
en Espaiia (i^ parte). Madrid: 1875.
In Boletin de la Comision del mapa geologico de Espana, ii-xviii. The introduction
(ii, pp. 1-12) gives a bibliographical review of publications relating to the palaeontology
of Spain, 1 754-1 874, which contains references to the Philippines. Cited by Josephson,
and index of periodical. There are many articles on the Philippines in this periodical.
Del-Pan, Felipe : — [Lists of Philippine titles.]
Published in Revista de Filipinas, a Manila newspaper, of which Del-Pan was the founder
and director, and which was published from July i, 1875 to June, 1877. Retana calls
this the best newspaper of the Philippines because of its scientific value (Vindefs Catdlogo,
iv, no. 221). Del-Pan's bibliographical work, Retana {Catdlogo, pp. vii, viiij and Apara-
to bibl., i, p. iii) criticises harshly, however, saying that not a single title is stated definitely,
and that it is poor in items; although some of the comments are good. Viewed from the
standpoint of use, and not merely of exact bibliography, it is to be feared that Retana *s
observations, as is so often the case, are too sweeping.

y joloanos. Madrid'. Imprenta de Manuel G. Hernandez, 1878. Pp.
xvi, 448. Appendices. Index. 8°.
Published in the series Biblioteca hispano-uliramarina. Appendix (pp. 351-392) is
entitled **Apunte bibliografico de algunos libros y papeles volantes relacionados con las
guerras piraticas," and contains information about both printed and manuscript material.
Many of the titles of this appendix treat of the Moluccas. Barrantes was a member of
both the Spanish Academy and the Royal Academy of History of Madrid, and became an
official in the Philippines. This book is mainly taken from a MS. entitled Demostracidn
histdrica de cuantas depredaciones llevan cometidas los Moras, etc. (see post, p. 382).

Both parts compiled by Meyer. Lacks full title and title-page. The first part consists
of 24 titles, and the second of 26, ranging in date from 1872-1878; and all are scientific.
Meyer was director of the royal zoological, ethnographical, and anthropological museum
of Dresden, and except Virchow and Semper, the greatest scientist to become interested
in the Philippines.

88 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
In Revista Augustiniana (today La Ciudad de Dios), and begun with the first issue of
January 5, 1881, and not yet concluded (see Retana, Aparato hihL, ii, p. 919). From the
forms of the periodical a few copies have been made into two toIs., i, containing the letters
A- J., and ii, LI-Z, with a supplement. L is lacking. Vol. i contains only titles of works
and is printed on but one side of the paper; ii contains biographies and critical notes as
well as titles, and is printed on both sides. Retana says the work is rery useful. There
are naturally many Philippine titles. Moral is still at work on this subject, and, accord-
ing to Retana, will probably soon publish his work in definitive form.

Comparatively few titles are given, but the pamphlet contains interesting information
regarding the so-called rice paper of the Chinese, which is made from a plant called in
the vernacular kotzu; the printing establishments of the Dominicans, Jesuits, Franciscans,
of the seminary of the archbishopric, other establishments in and about Manila, and those
of the provinces; and some few notes regarding engravers and engraving. The author
is in error in regard to the earliest printing in Manila. This was published in Revista
ContempordneOf beginning with Aug. 30, 1893. Retana {Aparato bibliogrdfico)y says that
it does not contain one sure statement in regard to the origin of printing in the Philippines.
Medina, Imprenta en Manila^ p. Ixxv, says that it is "not a bibliography, but a review
of Philippine printed books and engravings, . . and so considered is quite excellent,

of the few scientists who have written on the Philippines. To him is due the series known
as Reisen in den Philippinen (still being published) of which he wrote the first volume
(Leipzig, 1868) of 11 Theil (the first part was never published as a separate, and may be
found in Zeitschrift fur wissenschajtliche Zoologie, and in other periodicals). For notices
of this series, see Griffin's List of books on the Phil. Islands (Washington, 1903), and

This book is composed in great measure from a MS. in his library by Alfonso Rodri-
guez de Ovalle {q.v., post, p. 350) who went to Manila on the "'Santa Rosa," with the royal
despatches announcing the treaty of peace with England and instructions for the evacua-
tion of the British troops. Retana says {Bihl. filipina, 1898, p. 436), that a reading of
this book will convince one that the Jesuits acted as true patriots during this period.

The author of this work is probably W. E. Retana, as it bears the marks of his charac-

secular priests executed in 1872; and in succeeding parts, statements by various secular
priests arrested during the first Tagalog revolution of 1896-97; two documents regarding
the episcopal visit by Sancho de Santa Justa y Rufina, etc. The author of the book (a
European Spaniard and formerly a member of the Augustinian order) seeks to defend
the Filipino secular clergy from their detractors, one of whom is W. E. Retana. The
latter (Aparato bibl., iii, p. 1425) damns this book with faint praise, but it is of great use
and well worth study.

giving author and title without date or place of publication. Sawyer's book is not author-
itative for things that he did not know personally, and contains many errors.

The author has made use of Cano's Catalogo^ but has added very materially to the in-
formation of that book. In his bibliographies, Perez has adopted the chronological order.
The bibliographical information is given in the biography. This is a valuable contribution
to the bibliography of the Philippines. In the body of his work, Perez gives his own
biography under the name of "Elviro Jorde"" instead of **" Perez," so that his full name is
rightly ''Elviro Jorde Perez.""

Chao Ju-Kua (Chinese geographer) : — [Description of the Philippines.]
[Ca., 1280.]
Retranslated into English from Blumentritt's translation into Spanish from the English
of Dr. Hirth (ca.^ 1891); the Spanish version being published in the Filipino paper Perio-
dico Hehdomadario Escolarioi November 9, 1901. This is an extract from the geograph-
ical work of the above author, who was a Chinese official stationed in the south of the Chi-
nese empire about the middle of the thirteenth century. It is of special interest as being
the earliest known record of the Philippines, and was written about one and one-half cen-
turies before Magalhaes'^s discovery. It shows that the Chinese had a well-established
trade among the islands at this early time, and it may almost safely be assumed that they
had had such intercourse for centuries. Vol. xxxiv, pp. 183-191 (see especially pp.
183.185).
Alexander VI : — [Bull {Inter ccBtera) granting lands newly discovered, or

We translate from the version published in Heywood's Documenta selecta et tahulario

has been published in many collections, etc. (see ut supray pp. 339, 340). There are two
manuscripts in existence: one in the Vatican; and one (written on paper) in A. de I.;

The second bull of this date, for particulars of which see vol. i, pp. 339-341. We
translate from Heywood, ut supra, pp. 21, 22. Published also in various other works {ut

supra)y which was copied in 1505. Vol. i, pp. 103-105.
[Bull (Inter ccetera) establishing the line of demarcation.] Rome, May
4, 1493-
This bull supersedes the two preceding bulls. We translate from Heywood, ut supra.
For bibliographical details, see vol. i, pp. 339-341 (for published versions, pp. 339, 340).

of 1493. Vol. I, pp. 105-11 1.

For bibliographical details of this bull, see vol. i, pp. 340, 341. We translate from the
Spanish version given by Navarrete, Coleccidn de viages (1825), ii, pp. 404-406; (1859),
ii, pp. 449-451. This bull has been known only through the Spanish translation, made
by Gracian de Aldretc, secretary of Felipe II of Spain, and Harrisse^s search in the ar-
chives at Simancas, Sevilla, and Rome failed to discover any other copy. However,
Llorens Asensio {ut supra, p. 92) says that there are two copies of the bull in A. de I., to
which he gives the following title; " 'Nudum Siquidem omnes et singulas Insulam' aclaran-
do y ampliando lo concedido a los Reyes Cat61icos por la de 4 de Mayo del mismo ano,
de lo que se descubra en Indias." Both of the copies seem to be written on parchment,
and are accompanied by the leaden seal. Llorens Asensio adds also that Navarrete
assigned the date Sept. 25 in place of Sept. 26 to this bull. Vol. i, pp. 111-114.

In the Lenox branch of the New York Public Library (Spanish-American collection;
coleccion de viages) is the transcript of a MS. purporting to be by Magalhaes, which was
written about 1515. It is entitled "Descripcion De los Reynos, costas, Puertos, e Yslas
que hayen el Mar de la Yndia oriental desde el cabo de Buena Esperanza hasta la China:
de los usos y costumbres de sus naturales, su Gobierno, Religion, comercio, y navega-
cion, y de los frutos y efectos que producen aquella[s] vastas Regiones, con otras noticias
muy curiosas. Compuesto por . . Piloto Portugues que lo vio y anduvo todo." Begins
"Este libro compuso Fernando Magallanes Portugues Piloto lo qual el vio y anduvo.
Primeramentc El Cabo de San Sebastian. . ." Ends "por quanto no vinieron a Malaca
desp^ que es de nuestro Rey = A Dios gracias = ." Notwithstanding the beginning of this
document, it is quite probable that Magalhaes was not its author; and it is conjectured
that Duarte Barbosa may have written it (see Stanley's translation of his Relation, East
African and Malabar coasts (London, 1876; Hakluyt ed.).

With this letter is enclosed a relation by Salazar and others on the population of Manila
and Luzon provinces, a description of the same, and an account of the tributes, etc. This
relation is divided into two parts, the first part, dated Dec. 31, 1586, and made by the
Manila cabildo; and the second part being added by Salazar under date of June 25, 1585
(probably a printer's error for 1588). There is also some notarial matter. We translate

the first under the above title, and bearing date as above; the second bearing title "Rela-
tion of the worship of the Tagalogs, their Gods, and their burials and superstitions," and
undated. Inserted by Antonio de Padua {or de la Llavc), a Franciscan missionary in the
Philippines, 1 591-1645, and the first chronicler of his order in the Philippines, in his
Cronica de la santa y apostolica provincia de San Gregorio (see post^ It was discovered
in that MS. by the editor of Santa In^s's Cronica (Manila, 1892), who announced his
find in the supplement of the Oceania espanola, for June 6, 1886; and published the
document in the above book, ii, appendix 3, pp. 592-598. This MS. was prepared by
Plasencia at the request of Governor Santiago de Vera (made through the Franciscan
provincial, San Pedro Bautista) in order that the alcaldes-mayor might have some
standard by which to administer justice to the natives. This code was used in the legis-
lation for the natives until the changing conditions of Filipino society rendered it inopera-
tive. For many years it was supposed to have been lost until discovered as above related.
Its appearance in the body of the acts of the Audiencia (for 1 598-1599, where we found a
manuscript copy of it) indicates that it was discussed by that body in 1599. This is also
published in Patemo's Barangay (Madrid, 1892), pp. 1-85. Paterno alleged that he
published from a MS. in his library, but Pardo de Tavera (Bibl. fil., p. 302, no. 1941)
states that Paterno simply copied the relation as published by himself in the Revista con-
tempordnea for April, 1892. Vol. vii, pp. 173-196. See also, post^ p. 163.

The earliest printed ecclesiastical history treating entirely of the Philippines, and the
earliest to print Filipino written characters. Some have contended that this book was
printed later than 1620, an error that has arisen in part from the later MS. left by Chirino
(see posty p. 283), and partly from the mention of Morga's Sucesos by Chirino. But it
must be remembered that Morgans book circulated in MS. before being published. This
work is of great importance as it is one of the earliest accounts of the peoples of the Philip-
pines, and is full of keen observation. Vindel, Catdlogo, iii, p. 180, says that but 200
copies were printed. Chirino was the first Jesuit to go to the Philippines (1590) at the
king's expense. In 1602 he went to Rome on business for the order, where he published
his book, returning to the islands July 7, 1606. He afterward taught in the College of San
Jos6, and died at Manila, September 16, 1635, at the age of 60. See Pardo de Tavera,
Bibl. fil.y p. 126; and Retana, Aparato bibl., i, pp. 48-52 (where the Tagalog characters are
reproduced, and some extracts made from the work). Published in English translation in
our VOLS. XII and xiii. A reprint (containing many printers'* errors, and altogether inade-
quate), was published at Manila, Imprenta de E. Balbas, 1890. Copies of the rare orig-
inal edition exist in the following libraries and collections: P. de T. (Manila; formerly

Written in a charming style, although the work contains many inaccuracies. The
author had access to all the documents of the archives. A reprint was issued in ""^Zara-
goza: Imprenta del Hospicio Provincial, 1891," in a 4° of pp. clxiii, 407, (2), with a study
on Leonardo de Argensola by Father Miguel Mir. The original has been translated into
French (Amsterdam, 1706, 3 vols., 12°; and Amsterdam, 1707, a different setting than that
of the preceding year); English (London, 1708; by Capt. John Stevens; another edition,
171 1); and German (Franckfurth and Leipzig, 1710 — translated from the French ed.
of 1706). The French editions contain much more matter than the original, as they are
considerably annotated. See Retana's Aparato bibL; Pardo de Tavera's Bibl. fl., p.
34; and GriflBn's List, p. 23. The greater part of the volume treats of the Moluccas, and
gives much of the early history of those islands. Considerable space is, however, devoted
to the Philippines, namely, after p. 163, although there is also some Philippine matter
preceding this. In our series, we have translated and synopsized the Philippine matter.
Vol. XVI, pp. 217-317 (with facsimile of title-page). Copies of the original are conserved

MoRGA, Dr. Antonio de : — Svcesos de las Islas Filipinas. Dirigido a
Don Cristoval Gomez de Sandoual y Rojas, Duque de Cea. Mexico:
En cafa de Geronymo Balli, 1609. Leaves (6), 172. 4°.
Some volumes have an engraved title-page with the following title: "Svcesos de las
Islas Philipinas dirigidos a Don Christoval Gomez de Sandoval y Rojas Dvqve de Cea.
Mexici ad Indos: 1609." Some volumes may have borne both title-pages, though we
have not seen them; or there may have been a reissue of the volume, with the changed
title-page; in other respects the volumes are the same. This is the first secular history
devoted to the Philippines, and is one of the best ever written. Morga had a high idea of
the early civilization of the Filipinos; and writes with the assurance of one who had made
a close study of his subject. The MS. of this work was dated 1607 and bore the following
title: "Descubrimiento, conquista, pacificacion y poblacion de las Islas Philipinas," and
was dedicated "A la Magestad Catholica del Rey Don Phelipe III, nuestro Senor," as is
mentioned by Torrubia, both title and dedication being changed in the printed edition.
Chirino also {Relacion, 1604), mentions the work (at least the eighth chapter), so that it
must have been written at least in part before 1604. It was edited and reprinted by Rizal,
with the following title-page:
Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas por el Doctor Antonio de Morga. Obra publicado en
Mdjico el ano de 1609 nuevamentc sacada a luz y anotada por Jos^ Rizal y precedida de
un pr61ogo del Prof. Fernando Blumentritt. Paris: Libreria de Gamier Hermanos, 1890.
Pp. xxxvi, (2), 374. 80.
Unfortunately the transcript which was made for Rizal from the copy of the original
conserved in the British Museum was hastily made, and in consequence is not thoroughly
accurate. This work and RizaFs annotations are a protest against the frequently-
expressed contempt of the Spaniards for the Filipinos; and while Rizal tried, perhaps, to

prove too much, the work was timely, and brought into more general notice a book that
well merited study. One Justo Zaragoza, shortly before Rizal, began to reprint Morga's
book, but he died before the completion of his task. The book was reprinted, but the notes,
prologue and life of Morga, which Zaragoza intended to insert, were never finished. Some
time after his death, the sheets were sold as wrapping paper. So far as known, but two
copies of this edition (which bears date Madrid, 1887) were bound, one of which belongs to
the C. G. de T. de F., and one to the Ayer Collection (see Vindel's Catdiogo, iii, pp. 199,
200; and Retana's Aparato hibl.). An English translation was made by Sir Henry Ed-
ward John Stanley, with the following title:
The Philippine Islands, Moluccas, Siam, Cambodia, Japan, and China, at the close of
the sixteenth century. By Antonio de Morga. Translated from the Spanish, with notes
and a preface, and a letter from Luis Vaez de Torres, describing his voyage through the
Torres Straits, by the Hon. Henry E. J. Stanley. London : Printed for the Hakluyt Society,
1868. Pp. xxiv, 431. Portrait. Index. 8°.
The translation is poor, and Stanley has omitted the translation of the broad passages.
We have used the annotations of both Rizal and Stanley in our translation. Morgans
work, which is scarce and commands a high price, is very valuable for a study of ethnology,
and conditions among the Filipinos during the early Spanish regime. Morga, it must be
remembered, was a high official in the colony, and had access to all the documents in the
archives of the islands, and was in addition a keen observer. See Pardo de Tavera,
Bibl. fl.y pp. 275-277; and Retana, CatalogOy pp. 6, 7; and vol. xv, pp. 34-36, notes 2
and 3, and pp. 31-287; and vol. xvi, pp. 27-209 (the title-pages are reproduced in fac-
simile). Editions of the original are found in the following libraries and collections:

A MS. copy of this memorial is conserved in Madrid; B. N.; MS. 8990 (old

appears to have been made about the beginning of the nineteenth century, and
hurriedly and carelessly. Its source is not evident, and an earlier MS. may have been
utilized, or the printed copy. Its title is as follows: "Memorial informatorio al Rey nfo

sus vezinos, i moradores, i comercio con la nueua Espana. Por Don Juan grau i

as known, is in existence, although the title is listed by some of the old bibliographers.
Thevenot^s toIs. (in their various editions) are by no means uncommon in collections. Per-
haps the Thevenots of John Carter Brown library are as notable as any, and it is only to
be regretted that the insertion of title-pages has spoiled the books so far as their distinct
bibliographical value is concerned. Vol. xxix, pp. 66-85. Thevenot's translation is
not entirely accurate, it is to be feared, and it appears that he has adapted and summa-
rized in places.

author must be Diego Bobadilla, S. J. Thevenot translated from a Spanish MS. in the
collection of Don Carlo del Pezzo. This is a valuable relation, and contains ethnological
material, and a reproduction of a Filipino alphabet. Retana, ut supra, pp. 179-180,

This is called the first part of the history of the Jesuits in the Philippines and was pre-
pared in large part from the manuscripts left by Chirino (see post, p. 283). The work
is divided into the following books: I. Descripcion gcographica, y historica de las Islas
Filipinas. II. Del primer estado desta prouincia, en que fue solamente mission, casa
de residencia, y colegio. III. Del tiempo qve esta fve vice-prouincia subordinada a la de
Mexico. IIII. De lo svcedido en los diez afios primeros, despues que esta fue promouida
en prouincia. His history does not extend beyond the year 1632. A reprint was begun
in Manila in 1890, but was never completed (see Retana, Catdlogo abreviado, p. 9). This
book contains considerable bibliographical information, as Colin has published in con-
densed form various letters written by Jesuits. Colin 's work was republished by Pablo
Pastells, S. J., of the Jesuit college of Sarria, Barcelona, as follows:
Labor evangelica de los obreros de la Compania de Jesus en las Islas Filipinas por el P.
Francisco Colin de la misma Compania. Nueva edicion ilustrada con copia de notas y
documentos para la critica de la historia general de la soberania de Espana en Filipinas.
Barcelona'. Imprenta y litografia de Henrich y Compania. 3 vols. 4°.
These volumes are most copiously annotated with original MSS. drawn from the Ar-
chivo general de Indias, and other documents, which make them a most valuable source
for the history of the Jesuits in the Philippines. In addition the editor used extensively
Chirino's unpublished MS. {q.v., p. 283). A German translation of most of the first
book of the original edition was published in the Neue Welt-Bott, iv, theil xxvi, by Joseph
Kropff, S. J., in 1748, under the following title: " Beschreibung deren Philippinischen
Inseln." This translation is accompanied by a map. Theil xxvii contains in transla-
tion the list of Jesuit houses, churches, etc. (pp. 811-820 in the original edition). In our
series we have published the following extracts from the original: "Jesuit missions in 1656;
List of the number of religious, colleges, houses, and residences of the province of the
Society of Jesus; and of the churches, districts, and missions of Indians administered
in these Filipinas Islands, this present year, M. DC. LVI;" pp. 811-820. Vol. xxviii, pp.
78-103 (in the religious appendix). "Native races and their customs;" book i, chaps, iv,

educational appendix). Retana (Aparato bibl., i, pp. 134-138) also gives some brief extracts
from the original edition. In addition to the documents which we have used from Pas-
tells 's edition, we have, among others, used the following notes as annotation for our
series: Vol. xxi, p. 32, note i, in iii, pp. 674-677; p. 33, note 4, in iii, p. 677; pp.

Bound with Letona's Perfecta religiosa (Puebla de los Angeles, En la oficina de la viuda

of the copy of Perfecta religiosa from which our transcript was made (in the possession of
Antonio Graino, of Madrid), is written: ""A very rare work, especially with the description
of Filipinas, because the Council of the Indias ordered it torn from the copies. It has been
said that the Inquisition ordered this work collected and suppressed. I think that this
is an error, and that this work has been confused with another work with a similar title;
and the work prohibited by the Inquisition is that written by the Jesuit, Ramos.'*'' This

cellino da Civezza, Saggio di bibl., pp. 315, 316. Vol. xxxvi, pp. 189-217. Letona went
to the Philippines in 1649; and returned to Mexico in 1654. He left some devotional

This is even yet one of the most important books ever written about Mindanao and ad-
jacent islands. It contains descriptions of the islands, their products, peoples, and history.
It was edited with a lengthy prologo^ notes, and various tables, by W. E. Retana, with the
collaboration of Pablo Pastells, S. J., under the following title: "Historia de Mindanao
y J0I6 por el P. Francisco Combes de la Compania de Jesus;'"'' Madrid: [Imprenta de la

While the actual wording of the text has been respected, accents and punctuation have
been introduced. From this we have translated the following in our series: ""The natives

99-182 (in ethnological appendix). Copies of the original edition are found in the follow-

Pp. (20), 518, 25. Fo.
Dedicated to Don Juan de Austria. It is written in a somewhat gossipy style, and
contains matters of considerable value not elsewhere found. While treating especially of
China, some space is given to the Philippines, in particular book vi, chaps, iii-vii, xxxi,
and irrii. In chap, rai, "Adiciones breves a estos tratados" is a criticism of the work
of Francisco Colin (see Pardo de Tavera, Bihl. fil.y p. i68, no. 1068). It was probably in
answer to this and to the treatment of the Chinese missions, that the following polemical
works were published, in all probability by Jesuits: "Memorial apologetico el exc^° Senor
Condc de Villa-Humbrosa . . de parte de los missioneros apostolicos de el imperio de la
China. Representando los reparos que se hazen en un libro que se ha publicado en Madrid
este ano de 1676 en grave perjuizio de aquelia mission (Madrid, 1676 ?)." *' Reparos his-
toriales apologeticos . . propuestos de parte de los missioneros apostolicos del imperio
de la China representando los descuidos, que se cometen en un libro que se ha publicado
en Madrid, en grave perjuizio de aquelia mission." This latter Retana (fiatdlogo, p. 10,
no. 18) says was published at Tarragona, but the British Museum catalogue suggests Pam-
plona, in 1677. This, Retana says {ut supra) probably delayed the publication of the second
part of the Tratados, which finally appeared in 1679. Fernandez de Navarrete was probably
in Manila from 1 648-1 656 (see Griffin's List, p. 119). There is an English translation which

[Madrid, 1685?] Begins "Senor Lvis De Morales, Procurador de la

This pamphlet contains the "Relacion de el Estado, y Progressos de la Mission de las
Yslas Marianas desde Junio passado de 81. hasta el de 82," which was written in the
letter-report of Manuel de Solorf ano, S. J., vice-provincial and superior of the Marianas
missions; and ''Relacion de la Mission de Marianas desde el lunio passado de 82. hasta 25
de Abril presente de 84." by the same. Pardo de Tavera (Bihlioteca jUipina^ p. 274, no.
1768) cites this second report as a separate publication, which (following Vidal y Soler),
he describes as consisting of four folios, signed ''Luis de Morales procurador de la Com-
paiiia de Jesus.'' It is likely that the mistake arose through these two reports being cited
separately (see Sommervogel, v, col. 1283), who, however, describes the two relations as
part of the same publication, as consisting of a folio pamphlet of four leaves. In no. 1769,
Pardo de Tavera describes the entire relation with its two reports, which evidently exists
in his own library. It has been translated by Le Gobien, in his Histoire des ties Marianes
(Paris, 1700), under the title "Memoire du Pere Louis de Morales touchant la situacion,
la distance et la grandeur des Isles Marianes." As Morales went to Spain in 1685 as
procurator for the missions, the date of the pamphlet can be fixed at approximately 1685.

One of the most celebrated of all early accounts. Ends with the year 161 6. The
Conquistas de las Islas Filipinas, prepared by Casimiro Diaz, and known as the second part
of the above history, was prepared in great part from materials gathered by San Augustin.
It was never published until 1890 (Valladolid) under the editorship of Tirso Lopez, O. S. A.
Copies of San Augustin's work are owned by P. de T. (Manila)j M. B. de U. (Madrid);

This memorial purports to be by the representatives of the five orders of the Dominicans,
Franciscans, Augustinians, Recollects, and Jesuits. However, Berart, in a letter of April
4, 1700, says: *'I wrote the memorial which Lector Mimbela printed under his name,"

some bibliographical notes (see the lives of the various Franciscan friars). Considerable
use seems to have been made of San Antonio by Juan Delgado, S. J., in his Historic

The Franciscan Tornibia wrote, in defense of the Jesuit missions in Mindanao and the
maintenance of the Zamboanga fort, in 1736 (for title of which, see Retana and Griffin),
a memorial, which was printed (a very few copies) for circulation in the Spanish court;
it eulogized the services of F. Valdes Tamon. When the latter's son was at Madrid
later, no copy of this memorial could be found; accordingly, Patricio Joseph CastcUanos
secured permission (1753) to reprint it; he dedicated it to the son. (See the "Dedication"
at the beginning, signed by Castellanos.) Tornibia describes the location, settlements,
and importance of Mindanao, and its relation to the other Moro islands of J0I6, Borneo,
etc. He relates the depredations of the Moro pirates, and shows how these have always
been much greater when the Spaniards had no fort in Mindanao. He gives the history of
Zamboanga fort and of expeditions sent against pirates. The origin and funds of Miseri-
cordia are related, its obras pias, and its function as a Monte de piedad. In addition to
various notes, we have translated in our series from the 1753 edition as follows: '''Events

This work is highly praised by Retana, Aparato bibl.y i, pp. 392, 393. Especially
valuable for its description of Mindanao and its people, of whom (as likewise of the Pa-

translation was published at Paris, in 1780; and a German translation at Hamburg, in
1782 (the latter without the vocabularies). We have used this for various notes in our

some inaccuracies in regard to the social and political life (see Pardo de Tavera, Bibl. fil.,
p. 232, no. 1 510). Le Gentil was a trained scientific observer, and was sent out by the
French government. His observations cover the dates Sept. 1766-Feb. i, 1768. He makes

friar writers, and gives many interesting details of Philippine history. Martinez de Zufii-

says that a manuscript copy of Concepcion exists in Madrid, at the Biblioteca Nacional,

The appearance of this book raised a storm in official circles. It treats especially of
the industry, agriculture, commerce, finance, and administration of the Philippines in
1 8 10. Retana (Aparato bibl.y ii, pp. 501, 502), praises it highly. The work was reissued
in Manila, 1878, by Felipe Del-Pan (Las Islas Filipinas. Progresses en yo ahos\ the first
218 pages being Comyn, and the remainder Del-Pan's notes and economic description of
the islands in 1876. It was translated into English and edited by William Walton, under
the title State of the Philippine Islands, being an historical, statistical, and descriptive ac-
count of that interesting portion of the Indian archipelago (London, 1821). There is also
a Dutch translation (see Vindel, Catdlogo, iv, p. 289). Comyn lived in Manila for eight
years as chief factor of the Compania de Filipinas; and was an authority in financial, com-
mercial, and economic matters. See also Griffin's List, p. 15; and Pardo de Tavera's

The first two vols, at least were issued in a second edition, in 1858 and 1859. Only
vols, iv and v concern the Philippines. Many documents are published from copies of the
original MSS. which makes this a very valuable collection. It is said that the family
of the editor still possess unpublished notes sufficient to fill two more vols. See synopses
of documents published in this collection in our vols, i and 11. The Philippine matter
treats of the Magalhaes, Loaisa, Saavedra, Villalobos, and Legazpi expeditions. See also,
ante, p. 71. See also Pardo de Tavera, Bibl. fl., p. 168, no. 1070. We have had frequent
recourse to this collection for the early Philippine expeditions.

Mas, Sinibaldo de: — Informe sobre el estado de las Islas Filipinas en
1842. Escrito por el autor del Aristodemo, del Sistema musical de la
lengua castellana, etc. Madrid: Enero de 1843. 3 vols. 8°.
The first two volumes are common. Vol. i contains a chart of Filipino written characters,
and vol. ii, a map of the archipelago. These two volumes contain in all 27 different sec-
tions, with independent pagination, treating of the ethnology, history, fauna, natural fea-
tures, industries, commerce, and various governmental and social aspects of the Philippines.
Vol. iii was published secretly and in a limited edition, and treats of the Spanish policy
regarding the Philippines. The author advocates training the Filipinos for self-govern-
ment and then giving them independence. Although this third vol. was listed by Retana
in his Catdlogo abreviadoy p. 524, it has been rarely cited. It is very rare. Besides the
copy of the Compaiiia de Tabacos de Filipinas, we know of three copies, one belonging
to Epifanio de los Santos, Malolos, Bulakan, Luz6n (from a typewritten copy of which we
publish the translation in our series); one to the late Clemente Zulueta, a Filipino; and
one to the Peabody Institute Library, at Baltimore. The entire work is of great value,
although in the light of the latest researches its ethnological part suffers. In addition to
many notes, we have made the following excerpts in our series from Mas's work: "Ad-
ministration of government and the captaincy-general;" ii, no 9. Vol. xvii, pp. 322-
328 (part of appendix). "Character and influence of the friars;'' ii, no. lo. Vol. xxviii,
pp. 226-265 (in religious appendix). "Judicial conditions of the Philippines in 1842;"
ii, no. 12. Vol. xxxvi, pp. 279-306 (appendix). "Comments on San Agustin's famous
letter." Vol. xl, p. 184, note 85; pp. 194, 195, notes 116, 117; pp. 198-205, notes 127 (in
part), 132, 133, 134 (in part), 136, 139 (in part), 143, 144 (in part), 145; pp. 207-215,

(in part). In addition to these comments are given also in footnotes to San Agustin's
letter the variants in Mas's reading from those of the copy which we follow. "Public
instruction;" ii, no. 12. Vol. xlv, pp. 246-262 (in educational appendix). "Politica
interior;"" iii. We have published this in translation and synopsis, from a typewritten
transcript made from the copy owned by Epifanio de los Santos, of Malolos, Bulakan,
Luzon, which was loaned us by James A. LeRoy. For some of the notes we have had
recourse to the copy conserved in the Peabody Institute Library (whose existence we
learned of too late to use). Vol. lii, pp. 29-90. See also Retana's La Politica de Espafia,
viii, pp. 219-223; and his Aparato bfhl.y ii, pp. 581-583, where a few paragraphs of this
work are given.

134 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
by C. Sherman, 1844. 5 vols. Illustrations. Plates. Portrait. Maps.
po. Atlas, po.
From this we have reprinted the portion treating of '' Jolo and the Sulus;" v, chap, ix,
(almost entire), pp. 343-390. Vol. xliii, pp. 131-192 (in ethnological appendix; see also
ut supra, pp. 1 28-1 3 1, and note 31). See Griffin's List for later editions of this work
(pp. 121, 122; especially p. 122, for the list of the reports of this expedition, several of
which contain Philippine material, and vol. xxiii, Hydrography, which was written by
Wilkes). Vol. v also contains other Philippine matter.
Mallat, J. : — Les Philippines. Histoire, geographic, moeurs, agriculture,
industrie et commerce des colonies espagnoles dans TOceanie. Pans:
Arthus Bertrand, 1846. 2 vols. 8°.
A work of considerable merit, which consists, says Pardo de Tavera, Bibl. fil. (p. 245),
"not in its originality, but in the system and good arrangement." Largely used by Buzeta
and Bravo in compiling their Diccionario. Mallat has followed Mas to a considerable
extent. The atlas accompanying the work is very rare, and we have not seen it. We
have translated from this the following: "Educational institutions and conditions;"
ii, chap. XXV (entitled "Public instruction; condition of the sciences of letters and
arts"), pp. 239-253. Vol. xlv, pp. 263-278 (in educational appendix).

sheets. Portraits. Large 8°.
Although the engraved title-page of vol. i reads 1850, the imprint on the preceding
page reads 1851. Pardo de Tavera (Bibl. fil., p. 75, no. 432), calls these authors common
plagiarists, and declares that the first 254 pages of vol. i are a plagiarism of Mallat's work
(see also Retana, CatdlogOy p. 62, no. 188, who says that considerable use was made of
Mallat 's work). The authors acknowledge aid from one Juan Castells y Melcior, who
had done much in such work. Aid was also obtained (although not acknowledged)
from the MS. El venerable osorio of Agustin de Santa Maria (q.v., post); and Retana, Esta-
dismoy i, pp. xxxii, xxxiii, shows their unacknowledged use of Martinez de Zuniga, by a
parallel passage. In our religious appendix, we translate various parts from this work
as follows: "Ecclesiastical system in the Philippines," i, pp. 542-545, ii, pp. 271-275,
363-367. Vol. xxviii, pp. 266-289.

The title-pages are not uniform, and change with vol. iv, reading as follows: "Colec-
cion de documentos ineditos relativos al descubrimiento, conquista y organizacion de las
antiguas posesiones espafiolas en America y Oceania, sacados de los archivos del reino,
y muy especialmente de Indias." The directors of the work were Joaquin F. Pacheco,
Francisco de Cardenas, and Luis Torres de Mendoza. Unfortunately, as Sr. D. Pedro
Torres Lanzas, present chief of the Archivo General de Indias, affirms, the proofreading
was poorly done, and hence the accuracy of this important publication is impaired. Many
documents treat of the Philippines, for list of which see Pardo de Tavera ""s BibL fil., pp.

354; and *'Ueber alte und neue Schadel von den Philippinen," by Rudolph Virchow, pp.
355-377; and other interesting matter (see Griffin's List, p. 17). There is an English
translation with the title Travels in the Philippines (London, 1874), in which the appendix
is omitted. There is also a Spanish translation by S. Vidal y Soler with the title Viajes
por Filipinas (Madrid, 1875). Both translations are defective, the English especially
being untrustworthy. Jagor's work is of great value to the student, as its author was a
keen and trained scientific observer. Considerable use has been made of it in this series.
In the religious appendix, we present an extract under the following title "Character and
influence of the friars," pp. 95-100. Vol. xxviii, pp. 290-299. Also "Ueber den Boden-

Vol. i, of the series Bihlioteca historica flipina, published under the initiative of Jose
Gutierrez de la Vega. Although published only in 1892, this work was undertaken by
Delgado in Guiguan in 1751, continued in Palapag, and finished, June 6, 1754. The
author seems to have utilized San Antonio's Chronicas to a great extent; but he has
added much material of his own, so that the book is a valuable addition to Philippina.
Especially interesting are the third, fourth, and fifth books on ethnology, and natural history.
In the third book, Delgado inserts most of San Agustin's famous letter; and the editor
inserts a portion of Loarca's Relation (see vol. v, pp. 34-187), and excerpts from Le
Gobien's Histoire des isles Marianes (Paris, 1700). Cited many times in our series, and
excerpts published in our series as follows: "Some things worth knowing about the govern-
ors of the Filipinas Islands;" part i, book ii, chap, xvii, pp. 212-215. Vol. xvii, pp. 314-
322. "Religious condition of the islands;'' part i, book ii, chaps, ii-ix, xiv, and xv; pp.
140-158, and 184-188. Vol. xxviii, pp. 163-191 (a part of the religious appendix).
"Some considerations concerning the matter in Father Gaspar de San Agustin's letter;"

note 325 (in part). There are also many variants given in the footnotes under San Agus-
tin's letter, from the reading of the MS. which we follow in our publication of that letter.
Delgado was born at Cadiz, and went to the Philippines in 171 1. He worked in the mis-
sions of Samar, where he held various offices, was many years in Cebu, and labored as well
in Leyte and Bohol. A copy of the original MS. of this work is mentioned by Sommer-
vogel {Bihliothequey v, col. 1457, and ix, col. 188) as existing in the Jesuit archives at
Manila.

Vols, ii and iii of the Bihlioteca historica filipina (which was undertaken through the
influence of Jose Gutierrez de la Vega). Santa Ines's Cronica dates from 1676. Pardo
de Tavera says that its author wrote it with the intention of publication. The MS. (writ-
ten on rice paper) was preserved in the Franciscan convent at Manila, the first volume
entire, but the second somewhat mutilated. The MS. is also cited by Huerta, Estado,
p. 462; and Marcellino da Civezza, Saggio di hihl.y pp. 551, 552. At the end of the second
vol. the editor has added 12 appendices, among them two valuable relations of Juan de
Plasencia, O. S. F. The Cronica is divided into three books, and deals with the islands

up with the story of the martyrdom of Pedro Bautista and his companions in Japan in the
sixteenth century. Santa Ines was born at Penaranda de Bracamonte, and went to the
Philippines in 1674. He was appointed chronicler of his province in 1676, and in accord-
ance therewith wrote the above history, comprising the years 1 576-1627. His death oc-
curred at Lilio, August 4, 1713 (Pardo de Tavera, Bibl. fl., p. 395).

Gutierrez, Manuel, O. S. A.; and others: — [The friar memorial of 1898.]
Manila, April 21, 1898.
This memorial was never presented, as the American forces captured Manila before it
could be sent to Spain. It gives the friar point of view of the troubles that led to the
revolution of 1896, and was the joint work of the Augustinians, Franciscans, Dominicans,
Recollects, and Jesuits, each order being represented by its provincial. Fifty copies were
pulled off press, ten for each order. Our typewritten transcript was made from one of
these printed copies that was made for the Recollects. An edition was published at Ma-
drid, "Imprenta de la Viuda de M. Minuesa de los Rios," ca.y 1900. This contains some

few slight verbal changes from the other copy, but not sufficient to make a diflPerence in the
sense. An untrustworthy version of the memorial was published by Ambrose Coleman,
0. P., in the Rosary Magazine for 1900 (partly in direct translation and partly in synopsis).
This is an exceedingly valuable document as it gives the friar viewpoint, and is, moreover,
the official record of their position. Vol. lii, pp. 227-286.

Vol. i contains for the most part the descriptive matter, and vol. iiy the special scientific
matter. See for the table of contents Griffin's List, p. 12; Pardo de Tavera praises this
work for its mechanical excellence, and says of it: *'It is a compilation of what has been
written on the Filipinas. The part on meteorology and magnetism is excellent, but the
rest is a simple compilation, in which the Jesuits have brought together what other authors
have said, without the least personal criticism in the opinions copied, which are at times
absurd." The atlas was issued by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and before publishing,
it was necessary to redraw the maps to a uniform scale. Most of the text of vol. i has been
translated into EngHsh and published in vols, iii and iv of the Rept. of the Phil. Com. for
1900 (Washington, 1901). We publish extracts from this work under the following titles:

of nineteenth-century and present-day conditions, better qualified than any other "to write

working bibliography, for a careful study of the period treated. See his Philippine life
in town and country (New York and London, 1905), which presents the Filipino in a
clearer light than has been done elsewhere. Vol. lii, pp. 112-207.

with notes, and photographic facsimiles of 23 charts by Pigafetta; and
photographic facsimile of last page of MS.
A journal of the first circumnavigation of the globe. Pigafetta, an Italian of noble family,
and an ardent admirer of Magalhaes, kept a journal during the voyage, from which evi-
dently this relation was compiled. This is called the Ambrosian Manuscript, from its place
of conservation in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, Italy. It is the oldest of the four
manuscripts (see posty p. 239), and dates from either shortly before or shortly after 1525.
Ciscato (Antonio Pigafetta viaggiatore vicentino del secolo XVI; in "Atti delF accademia
Olimpica di Vicenza," xviii, a. 1883) believes that it was procured for the founder of the
Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Cardinal Federico Borromeo, by one of the learned men whom
he sent out, according to Manzoni, to every part of Europe, to buy ancient books and
manuscripts. It was discovered among the papers of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana by Dr.
Carlo Amoretti, prefect or conservator of that library, and first made known to the world in
his Primo viaggio (Milan, 1800), although in a wofully mutilated form, as Amoretti has
edited the manuscript almost beyond recognition in places, with the result that Pigafetta's
words are twisted into new meanings. This manuscript, written in a mixture of Italian,
the dialect of Vicenza, and some few Spanish words, is probably a copy of the one pre-
sented to the grand master of Rhodes, as it bears the following inscription on the inside of
first cover-page: "Ce livre est du chevallier de Forette;" for it is scarcely likely that Villiers
de ITsle-Adam would give away his copy. It is written in a volume bound simply in
heavy walnut-colored paper. Pages streaked and dog-eared at edges. Height, 273 mm.;
width, 204 mm.; thickness, 28 mm. Written on ordinary rag paper on fol. 1-80. Fol-
lowing this (fol. 81-92), is "Alcune regole sulF arte della navigazione," or "Some rules on

in both Spanish and Portuguese, of the negotiations between Legazpi and Pereira, a Portu-
guese captain, in regard to Spanish occupation of the Philippines, against which the Portu-
guese protest, claiming them as lying within their jurisdiction. The earliest document is
dated ^cbu, Oct. 14, 1568, and the latest in the negotiations, June 2, 1569; and each part
is duly attested by notary. Published in translation and synopsis in vol. ii, pp. 244-329

This document consists of two parts: i. A letter written by Riquel and others, which
was carried to Mexico in one of the ships leaving Manila, July i, 1573, and arriving at
Acapulco, November 15, 1573. 2. A postscript, added -by the Mexican officials before
they forwarded the letter to Spain in 1574, enumerates the cargo brought in the ships from
the Philippines. An endorsement on the back of this document, dated May 7, 1854,
attests that it was copied on that date by royal authorization for Adrian Garcia Hernandez,
then general secretary of the superior government of the Philippines. The original covers
about 51/3 pp. folio size, and the paper shows discoloration and ink-blots. In M. B. de
U.; 711, 20 — 3*, caja n®. 22, is a document which is similar to the above, but which
shows some slight differences. It is evidently the same letter that was written by Riquel,
or a contemporary copy of the letter written to Mexico. It is entitled as follows: "Re-
lacion de las nueuas q escriue de las yslas de poniente Hernando de Riquel cscriuano de la
gouemacion dellos que partieron del puerto de manila en vno de dos nauios a pri® de julio

III, p. 231, notes 78, 79; p. 233, note 80; p. 243, note 83; and p. 316. This is bound with
the Artieda MS. {q.v.)y but the handwriting is different from that of that MS. In the
Munoz Collection, in R. A. de la H., no. 33-34, is another Riqucl MS., which is evidently
a partial transcript of the printed version of RiqueFs relation (see Medina, Bibl. esp.y p. 34,
no. 7; and Pardo de Tavera, Bibl. fil., p. 361, no. 2397). This is entitled: "Nuevas de
las islas del Poniente que escrive . . escr"". de la govo^. dellas a un su am®, a Mexo.''
Begins "Residimos en esta isla de Luzon, . . ." Ends "Dios los lleve en salvamente.''
In the catalogue of the Munoz Collection is the following concerning this MS.: "One single
sheet in the handwriting of Senor Munoz, transcribed from a copy belonging to Conde
del Aguila. It contains Mas nuevas de las Islas de Poniente que scribe Hernando Rcquel,
escribano de la gobernacion de Manila a un amigo de Mejico.' To it are added some
news from Italy and Africa, and the epitaph of King Don Fernando, which was printed in
Sevilla in the year 1574." At the end of the letter, Munoz has written, "Transcript made
from another modem transcript of the Conde del Aguila contained in a folio legajo en-
titled 'Felipe 2°.' This must have been taken from the printed copy, defective in part as
the 'outs'* marked by the periods indicate. Sevilla, March 23, 1785. Munoz." The
printed relation is also described by Gallardo, EnsayOy no. 3630.

the edges. Fastened to it is another leaf containing the relation of Hernando Riquel, q.v.^
ante, although the paper on which it is written is of a different texture. The Artieda MS.
contains a number of sidenotes opposite the various paragraphs. It is listed on p. 14 of
the CatdJogo (Madrid, 1900) of the library. In the Archivo General de las Indias is a MS.,
purporting to be, merely through the endorsement by some archivist, by Juan de la Isla;
but which is the MS. of Artieda (with some minor changes, q.v.y ut supra, pp. 190-208,
316). The pressmark of this MS. is est. i, caj. i, leg. 1I23. It bears as title: "Relacion
de las islas del Poniente y del camino que a ellas se hizo desde la nueva spna." Begins "Ay
en la nueva spna . . ."*'' Ends *'de palabra mandandomeloV. mag." It bears neither
date nor signature. See ut supra, p. 190, note 54. Another copy is cited by Ochoa, Catd-
logo razonado, as existing in the old Biblioth^ue royalle; 1588 (Saint-Germain); 240;
papeles varios. This has 2 leaves missing at the end. In the catalogue of the present
Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the pressmark is given as '""Manuscrits espagnols et portu-
gais; esp. 325; no. 3, fol. 10-13;" but the date is wrongly given as 1582, which date does
in fact appear on the document. This MS. is mistakenly ascribed to Juan de la Isla by
Fernandez de Navarrete, Bihl. mar, esp., ii, p. 239, under the following title: "Descripcion
de los puertos de Acapulco y Navidad, y de las islas que descubri6 la armada del general
Lcgazpi; sus alturas y distancias; costumbres de los indigcnas; la navegacion que hizo;

Loarca, and may be considered as true. Published (both Spanish and
English) in vol. v, pp. 34-187.
This document was formerly housed in the archives at Simancas, where it bore, accord-
ing to Juan Bautista Muiioz, pressmark "Indias, leg. 3 de los int. Descripciones i Pobla-
ciones.'''' Copied by the latter, his final revision being completed August 10, 1782; and
now among the Munoz papers at R. A. de la H., Madrid, where it bears the following
title in the catalogue: "Tratado de las Islas Filipinas con todas las poblaciones reducidas
a la obediencia del Rey en 1 580, los pueblos espanoles, manera de gobiemo de estos y de
Indios por Miguel de Loarca; copiose en Simancas en cinco cuademos." Of it Munoz
says: *""It is a very fine relation, for one can with difficulty find another of that time so
complete. [It merits] peculiar credit in whatever touches upon religion, opinions, cere-
monies, manners, and customs of the natives, which it appears that the author investi-
gated with great care from the beginning of our settlements in those islands. On simple
paper, but in the letter of the time in which it was written. . . . Written on 14 sheets.
. . . It was written in the year 1580, that is, 16 years after the settlement of the
Spaniards in Filipinas, during the governorship of Don Gonzalo Ronquillo, as appears
from the introduction and from the third chapter suh. tried.'''' A transcript from Munoz"'s
copy, or a duplicate of it, exists in the Lenox branch of the New York Public Library, but
like the Munoz MS. it differs in some essentials from the real original, namely in spelling,
capitalization, and punctuation. Beginning with chapter vi, Munoz"'s transcript was
published in Delgado's Historia (Manila, 1892) as an appendix to part i, book iii, pp.
371-392, by the editor of that book. Ternaux-Compans, Archives des voyages (Paris,
1840), i, pp. 1-50, gives a loose and inadequate translation of the manuscript. The "De
las Costumbres de los Indios Bisayas, i otros de Filipinas''"', cited by Barcia, ii, col. 638,
appears to be Loarca's Relation. Blumentritt, VoceA. einz. Ausd.., p. 49, cites this rela-
tion from Folletines del Diario de Manila, 1877; but whether it was reproduced by that
paper or merely cited therein, we arc unable to state.

A collection of papers relating to the matter of the tribute, consisting of some twenty-four
documents (which do not all appear in their correct chronological order). This is a most
interesting and valuable MS., although often filled with unnecessary details and quibbling,
as it shows one phase of the struggle between the ecclesiastical and civil powers, which
was so often to break out in the Philippines. The earliest document bears date, Manila,
Jan. 25, and the latest Quiapo, March 21. The various documents are not all arranged
chronologically, having been copied in wrong order probably by a government clerk, but
we have arranged them correctly, in our publication, where they are presented in transla-
tion and synopsis. The original MS. is mutilated in places, and bears several endorse-
ments. A transcript of it was made for Eduardo Navarro, O. S. A.

There are three MSS. known to be in existence, all of which differ somewhat from one
another. We have used mainly what appears to be the real original, existing in the Archives
of the Indies. Of the other two, one is in the R. A. de la H., and the other is evidently
a copy therefrom by Ventura del Arco (see post). Below are the necessary details regard-
ing these three MSS., which we designate as A, B, and C, respectively. A. [Memorial to
the Council.] A. del.; est. 68, caj. 7, leg. 35. B. Memorial general de todos los estados de
las yslas filipinas sobre las cosas de ellas para su mag*^. Manila, [July 26], 1586. R. A.
de la H.; papeles de los Jesuitas; tomo 8, fol. 330-339. C. Juntas de los Estados de la
ciudad de Manila para enviar un comisionado a Madrid para informar al Rey acerca de
las necesidades de las Islas, ano de 1586. Vol. i, no. i. We have used all three MSS. in
our pubUcation. See vol. vi, p. 158, note 37; p. 165, note 40, and pp. 230-233. This is
a most important MS. for the study of the early history of the Philippines. Probably the
document cited by Fernandez Duro, Armada espanolay iii, p. 60, note, who cites the copy
in Madrid; Deposito hidrografico; tomo 18. This document is also published by Pas-
tells in his edition of Colin's Labor evangelica.

These decrees all treat of mission affairs and ecclesiastical supervision of the regulars
by the bishops, which was a bone of contention in all the Spanish Indies. The first four
concern Nueva Espana, and are dated June 5, 1607, Dec. 13, 1620, Apr. 30, 1622, and
June 22, 1624, the first two being sent to the viceroy, the third to the bishop of the province
of Guajaca, and the fourth to the viceroy, archbishop, and bishops. These were probably
used in the consideration of the question in the Philippines. The last three decrees have
to do with the Philippines directly. The first two, dated Sept. 2, and Oct. 2, 1638, were
published from MSS. from A. H. N. (5. v., VOL. XXIX, pp. 104-107; see also post^ p. 207).

The letter itself is followed by certain facetious questions and answers concerning the
Filipino, which are ascribed to Pedro Murillo Velarde, S. J. W. E. Retana says (Esta-
dismoy ii, p. 281*) that Murillo Velarde was a genial author, but very keen and observant
withal. "He was very anti-Indian, a name applied to those who do not flatter them; and
it is known that in a quarter of an hour of good humor, he wrote the pages which I tran-
scribe"" (here follow the questions and answers). Retana notes that Murillo Velarde and
Delgado did not have the same opinion in the matter. This is a famous letter, and many
copies of it exist. See ut supra^ pp. 183, 184, and the footnotes for the entire letter. The
MS. described above is written on good rag paper of about octavo size, and occupies fol.
1-3 1 recto. The questions and answers of Murillo Velarde occupy fol. 31 recto-32 verso.
There is one blank leaf in front, and three at the end. The MS. has been carefully made,
and all quotations are in red ink. On the cover, it bears the number 16. It is not the
original MS., but a copy (probably made almost contemporaneously with the original).
We give the variants in the MS. in M. B. de U., and that presented by Delgado, together
with comments of the latter and of Mas. In ethnological appendix. Cited by Blumcn-

He says of it: ''Original and unpublished MS. composed of 32 pages; written in a very
vigorous hand; also written on the margins of [several of] the last pages. An interesting

This MS. consists of two parts: the first is the relation proper by Valdes Tamon; the
second part is the ecclesiastical survey and was written by Pablo Francisco Rodriguez de
Berdozido, royal accountant at Manila, in 1742. In "Motivo de Efta obra," which pre-
cedes the work, a letter from Don Joseph Patino, royal secretary, dated Sept. 20, 1735,
states that the king desired news of the islands, and of their fortifications, as the recent fire
at the palace in Madrid had destroyed many papers. He asked for plans, and reports on
fortifications, troops, munitions, and artillery. The ecclesiastical portion of the work was
written in obedience to a letter, dated Madrid, Aug. 30, 1739, ^rom the royal secretary.
The book is a beautiful specimen of workmanship. It is folio size and bound in boards.
For better protection, the entire book, with its binding, has been enclosed in two thick
wooden covers. The paper is thick and heavy, and somewhat worm-eaten. Some of the
maps are in colors. Another copy of this MS. exists in the Sevilla archives. A short ex-
tract from a copy of this MS., probably existing in Manila, is published in vol. iii, of the
annual Report of the War Department (Washington, 1903), pp. 437, 438, note a.

and prices it at 80 pesetas. It was purchased by Mr. Ayer from the C. G. de T. de F.,
by whom it was priced at 65 francs. Its author was an Englishman who had become a
naturalized Spaniard, and whose naturalization papers exist in A. de I.

This MS., which was purchased from the Madrid bookseller, P. Vindel, by Mr. Ayer in
1904 is bound in a modem binding embossed on the back, "Ingleses en Filipinas". It
has a modern title-page (q.v., above), and, in addition, a modern index at the end, which
contains, however, numerous errors. The MS. itself consists of 57 folios, numbered in ink
by the person who transcribed the various documents from the originals in 1765. In addi-
tion each page is also numbered in pencil (114 in all). The MS. is in excellent condition,
and is worn through in but few places, due to the old-fashioned method of blotting, which has
disintegrated the paper in several instances. The titles of the various documents as given
above have been taken partly from the index, partly from the documents themselves, and
in part made up.

Although the authorship of this document is not indicated on the document itself, an
entry in the catalogue of the museum ascribes it to Dalrymple; if the date "Nov. 23, 1762,"
is the date when it was written, it was thus written after the conquest of Manila by Draper
and Cornish; and must have been written in England, or where the writer had not learned
of the success of the British arms. In the absence of this direct catalogue entry, we had
suggested Draper as its author (see ut supra, p. 43, note). There was a Spanish translation
of this document in Ministerio de Ultramar, Madrid (cited by Moya y Jimenez, p. 240).

This MS. was purchased by Mr. Ayer from the Madrid bookseller, P. Vindel, in 1903,
for the sum of 225 pesetas (although Vindel asked 300 pesetas for it; see no. 2693 in his
CatdlogOf iii, Madrid, 1903, p. 208). Of it Vindel says: "A document of high historical
interest. In it are related with the greatest veracity all the events of the capture of Manila
by the British forces. In part, the conduct of its author, the most illustrious Senor Don
Manuel Antonio Roxo del Rio y Veyra, is vindicated." The MS. is bound in modern
leather covers, embossed on the back "Raxo [sic] Operaciones en Manila. MS. 1763''.
The MS. itself is badly stained and is worn in many places; and has been mended at some
time. It consists of 52 folios, which are numbered in pencil. It is either the real original
of the relation or a copy made shortly after it was written. Cited by Fernandez Duro,

leaves (of which the first two are blank, the third, title-page, 4-9, the letter by Torre, 10-86,
text proper, and 87, blank); and is bound in vari-colored silk {not green velvet, as stated
by the catalogue); ornamented gilt edges. It cannot be stated with certainty whether this
is an autograph copy by Viana, or whether it was made in Manila, or in Madrid. It for-
merly belonged to the collection of W. E. Retana, and was purchased by Mr. Ayer from Vin-
del, who priced it at 350 pesetas. Several other copies of this MS. are in existence, two
being found in the A. de I. at Sevilla, and one (pp. unnumbered) belonging to Antonio
Graifio, Madrid. It is mentioned by Montero y Vidal {Historia general de Filipinas, ii, pp.
118, 119), who gives a table of its contents; and Retana, Estadismoy iiy pp. 343*-*344.
This is a most important MS. [notwithstanding that Retana (La Politica de Espafia, i, p.
273) says that it contains nothing extraordinary], for it describes economic conditions in
the Orient exactly as they existed at the time of its writing; and its author was an
educated and fearless man.

Ayer. The MS. is bound in green velvet, and is a small folio of i unnumbered leaf, which
serves as title-page; 50 numbered leaves, of which the first 46 are text, and the remainder
blank; and i unnumbered leaf which contains the index made in the same hand as the rest
of the book. It is impossible to state whether this letter-book was written by Viana him-
self in order that he might preserve a copy of the letters that he wrote. Most of the docu-
ments are accompanied by a short synopsis that may have been made by a government
clerk; although it is also possible that it may have been made by Viana.

islands in 1809, since he declares that he had resided there for 17 years, when he wrote
this in the first months of 1827." It is a valuable MS., and treats of all the manifold ele-
ments entering into the administration of the Philippines - military; Morosj native
population; lands; ecclesiastical matters; foreigners, exiles, and politicians in the islands;
Spaniards from Europe in the islands; residencias; employes; aid sent to the islands;
revenue matters; industrial aflfairs; judicial; etc. Small folio of 87 leaves in all (i flyleaf,

Documentos del Torre do Tombo, Simancas, etc., MS. 1518-1525.
This contains a synopsis of the instructions for the expedition, the crews of the vessels,
etc.; and some matter on Loaisa's expedition. Some of this matter is found in Fernandez
de Navarrete's CoUccion de viajes.

**Partio de Sebylha a . . ."
Formerly in the Bibliotheque du Roi, where its pressmark was 7168^"^; fol. 57-64.
Paris says of this MS.: "This relation by a Genoese pilot who accompanied the famous
Magellan has no need of being recommended to the interest of geographers. Unfortu-
nately it is too short, and the writing is very poor." This MS. is written in excellent Por-
tuguese, and general consensus of opinion is inclined to impute its authorship to a Portu-
guese, inasmuch as Magalhaes had no Genoese pilot with him. This account is repro-
duced in English by Stanley {First voyage round the world by Magellan^ pp. 1-29). It is
cited often in Mosto's Pigafetta, and in Robertson's Magellan's voyage around the world,
and the notes to vols, xxxiii and xxxiv of this series. This is perhaps the document
cited by Barcia (1737, 1738), ii, col. 669, namely, "Viage de Fernando Magallanes," a
Portuguese MS. then conserved in the library of Leida.

First mentioned in 1841 by Thomassy, who found it in the library of Mons. Beaupr^
judge of the court of first instance at Nancy, France (on account of which it is known as
the Nancy MS.); and who described it and gave various passages from it (Bulletin de la
Soc. giog.y Paris, Sept. 1843). The catalogue of the Libri sale (July, 1862, p. 92, no. 456)
says: "This MS. belonged to the secretary of the Cardinal of Lorraine, and . . was in
the convent of St. Leopold at Nancy. There is every reason to suppose that this is the
manuscript copy of the relation of his voyage which Pigafetta had addressed to the Duke
of Lorraine, as Vespucci (at the beginning of the same century) addressed his letters on
America to another Duke of Lorraine" (see also Harrisse, Bihl. Amer. vetus.y Add.y Paris,
1872, p. xixii). From the library of Mons. Beaupre, the manuscript passed into the posses-
sion of the Paris bookseller Potier, by whom it was sold in 1855 into the Solar collection
(according to Mosto, p. 41 ; Harrisse says, ut supra, p. xxxiii, that is was sold at Potier's
sale in March, 1851, where it was no. 506). At the demise of Mons. Felix Solar in 1861, it
came into the possession of a London bookseller, who paid 1,650 francs for it (Stanley's
First voyage round the world, p. li). The Venetian canon Pietro Marasca tried to ac-
quire the manuscript for the library of his city, first at Nancy, and then at Paris, but in
vain, and after it was taken to London lost ail trace of it (see Morsolin's Elogio di Antonio
Pigafetta -cited by Mosto). It appears next at London in the Libri sale (July, 1862),
where it was bid in by Sir Thomas Phillipps of Cheltenham, England, for £135. It has
been partially described by Thomassy (Bulletin de la Societe de Geographie, vol. xx, 1843,
pp. 165-183), and by the Solar and Libri catalogues, which sources Harrisse and Mosto
follow; but we are indebted for the most complete description of this document yet fur-
nished to the courtesy of Mr. T. FitzRoy Fenwick, grandson of Sir Thomas Phillipps (who
died in 1872). Small folio, finely bound in red morocco, tooled and gilt (Divin binding).
Written on fine wh'te vellum in a beautiful French hand of the sixteenth century, and the
volume as a whole is in an excellent state of preservation. There are 99 leaves with writing,
1 1 X 7 I /2 in. In addition, at the beginning are one paper flyleaf and two blank vellum
leaves, and at the end two blank vellum leaves and one paper flyleaf. The text occupies
folios 3 recto-98 verso, and is divided into 57 numbered chapters, the titles of which arc
written in red or blue. The initial letters are handsomely illuminated in gold and colors,
and there are twenty-three richly-executed charts (most of them full page). There are
three vocabularies. It is nearer the Italian MS. in the few passages that we have been able
to collate with the Ambrosian MS. than are the other two French MSS. Thomassy
dates it later than both the latter, but in the same general epoch as MS. 24224, which it

resembles in chirography; and regards is as a revision of Pigafetta's first MS. which he
mistakenly supposes to be 5650. It is by far the best of the French MSS. (dating probably
from the second quarter of the i6th century), and is apparently the oldest of them; and
may, indeed, have been translated directly from the Italian MS., though no positive state-
ment can be made until a thorough collation of the Ambrosian MS. and the Nancy is made.

Its old pressmark in the royal library was 10270 B; it being sent to that library in 1694
by Abbe Bizot. It is an adaptation and translation of the Italian MS. {q.v.^ ante, p. 144).
Bound in red morocco; embossed on back, ''A. PIGAPHETE | — | navigation
I DANS I L'INDE. I — I 5650 |." Height 303 mm.; width, 203 mm. Written on paper,
consisting of 114 folios, in Gothic letters, in two hands, the second comprising fol. 72 recto-
92 recto (but it must have been written by the same person as the rest of the MS., only ap-
pearing more hurried and less careful). Each full page has twenty-nine red-ruled lines,
and twenty-eight lines of writing. Paragraphs are separated by a black line, and start
with a hanging indention. Initial letters are in both red and blue ink, as are also para-
graph marks ''^■" which occur scattered throughout the text. Titles to charts (of which
there are 23) and other headings are in red ink. Unnumbered chapter headings distin-
guished by no other title than "Chapitre," occur at intervals. The relation of the voyage
comprises fol. 1-96 recto. Following (fol. 96 verso-114) is the treatise on the globe (fol.
96 verso containing the figure of the sphere). This is the older of the two MSS. conserved
at Paris; and dates probably from near the middle of the i6th century. It has never been
published in full, although Stanley translates it in part in his First voyage round the world
(London, 1874)- see Robertson, ut supra, ii, p. 301. See full treatment of bibliography
of Pigafetta MSS. and printed books, in Robertson, ut supra, ii, pp. 241-313. This may
be the Pigafetta MS. cited by Gonzalez Barcia.

Its old pressmark in the Bibliotheque Nationale was Fonds La Valliere, no. 68. Bound
in green morocco; embossed on back: "NAVIGAT | EN LINDE | DE PIGAPHE |";
edges gilt. Height, 275 mm.; width, 185 mm. Written on fine parchment, consisting of
103 folios (although it shows 104 due to misnumbering). Each page has twenty-nine lines
of writing, which is most painstaking, and more easily legible than that of 5650. The
initial letters are beautifully illuminated, and the charts (twenty-three in number) are
beautifully executed (the inscriptions thereof being in red ink). Certain headings occur
throughout the MS. An incomplete copy of 5650, certain somewhat broad passages
having been smoothed down. The relation of the voyage occupies fol. 1-86 verso. The
treatise on the globe comprises fol. 87-104 (figure of globe lacking). See Robertson, ut
supra-, and vols, xxxiii and xxxiv of this series. This MS. is described by Guillaume
de Bure, Catalogue des livres de la bibliotheque de feu M. le due de la Valliere (Paris, 1783);
iii, pp. 35, 36; but the conclusions are entirely wrong. It has never been published.

An interesting letter, in which the affairs of the young colony are discussed. Like
various other oflBcials, Lavezaris complains bitterly of Sande, whose Bomean campaign
he condemns as useless and costly, both in life and treasure. The death of Andres de
Mirandaola is recorded, and the frightful mortality of the soldiers. The governor engages
in trade, although it is against the law. Certain encomiendas have been restored to Lave-
zaris by the king, of which he had been deprived by Sande. On the MS. is written the
comment of the Council. Following this letter is the petition presented by Lavezaris

Ends "menor hijo de V. R°.'*, with signature.
This short letter was addressed to the Jesuit rector, who must have been Antonio Scdeno,
who had come to the islands in 1581 with Salazar, the first bishop. It must have been
written in 1582, as Aguirre mentions that the Augustinians have been eighteen years in the
islands. The letter concerns the status of the Augustinians in their mission and religious
work. It is a copy only of the original, and was made by Salvador de Argon, notary and
apostolic secretary.

Evidently only a copy of the original, as it bears no signature, or date. The date can
be fixed at about 1583, as Aguirre says that he had first gone to the Philippines nineteen
years earlier with Legazpi, and that he had now returned to Spain in the interests of his
brethren. He makes various requests of Felipe for the bettering of the condition of the
Augustinians and the people in general, and represents the poverty of the country.

in Spain. After going to the Philippines, he was appointed master of novices at Manila
in November, 1609. It can only be conjectured that he was in the Moluccas thereafter
until 1 61 2. In March, 1622, he was appointed guardian of the Cavite convent, and in
Jime of that year became definitor and vicar of the monastery of Santa Clara at Manila.
In 1625 he became guardian of the Manila convent, where he died in 1632, after serving
also in two other villages.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
of both of which he makes use in his work. The MS. is written by several native aman-
uenses as is shown by the various hands. It is on rice paper, and has been holed and
eaten by the destructive white ant. The MS. is bound in carabao hide. It contains five
books as follows: the first, with 32 chapters; the second, with 27; the third, with 33; the
fourth, with 36; the fifth, with 55. A paragraph, written by Juan de Bueras, S. J., and
provincial of Filipinas, 1 627-1 636, translates as follows: "For the good memory of Father
Pedro Chirino, who labored so effectively in this province, I order that this book which he
left, be conserved in the library of this college of Manila, where those who desire of its good
studies may aid themselves. Manila, January 25, 1636." This paragraph, together with
the above title-page, indicates that this copy was made at the instance of Juan de Bueras.
Considerable use of this MS. was made by its present owner, in his edition of Colin's Labor
evangelica (Barcelona, 1904). There are partial transcripts in R. A. de la H. (Mufioz
Collection); and in the Lenox branch of the New York Public Library. The second,
which we describe, appears to be a duplicate or a transcript of the partial transcript made
by Mufioz from Chirino 's MS. about 1800, which transcript rests in the R. A. de la H. in
Madrid. Of it, Mufioz says: "To this point, the index of this work, which must consist
of two volumes, one of which is owned by Don Manuel de Ayora, which includes the first
three books. It is written on quarto paper from China. The copy is corrected by the
author himself, and signed at the end. Under this is a note in his handwriting ""Revised
and corrected by the author himself in Manila, April, 1618. Pedro Chirino." There are
about 700 leaves in an excellent and clear cursive letter. It proceeded from one of the
Jesuit houses in Sevilla, where Ayora bought it, as he himself told me, when under the title
of duplicates, very many good books and various MSS. were bought and stolen. Collat-
ing with this MS. and its index, the Relacion de las Tslas FilipinaSy y de lo que en ellas hart
travajado los Padres de la Comp^. de Jesus, an imprint of Rome, 1604, in 4°, I have found
that the Relacion is, as it were, a compendium of the Historia, or more properly, the latter
which was written later is an extension of the former, and in many places, a literal copy.
But the first part of the Historia (since we do not know whether he wrote the second part)
must take up to the year 161 1 or 161 2, while the Relacion only takes up to July, 1602, when
its author left Manila for Roma, where he signed it March 5, 1604. I shall state the result
of the collation, advising that the parallel chapters will be noted, those of the Historia
preceded by a Roman number denoting the book. I. 3 =i« In the Historia, much
longer, where are told succinctly the navigation of Magallanes, E. Gomez, Comendador
Loaysa, the vessels of Cortes in 1527, and three other fleets through the strait; while the
last mentions only the last of the archbishop of Palencia in 1540, that of Villalobos in
1543 from Nueva Espana, and that of Legaspi. III. 8, 9, 10=15, 16, 17. Literally the
same, except a few additions and slight corrections in the chapters in the Historia. III. 14,
15=20, 21. 14=20 exactly. 15=21, in part identical, but in the Historia, the matter is
treated more at length and divided into sections. III. 16=22. In part identical, but
with additions in tht Historia. III. 21=46. All of the matter of the -R^/dicion is put
into the Historia, and much is added in the latter. III. 20=30. Although agreeing in
title, they are very different in substance, and the history is much better. III. 22=31.
Very different, and with comparison much longer in the H/5/or/<3. III. 25=33. Much
in the Historia taken from the Relacion, but changed and greatly bettered. III. 28=34.
Same as the preceding. This is also general. The prologo is addressed 'To the
Rev. Fathers of the Society of Jesus of the Filipinas. ^ Begins 'Quien lo ha provado sabe
bien . . . lo q^. ba del q^. se nacio en la fee.' He says that obedience obliged him
to write this history." Muiioz gives a copy of the list of chapters for the first five books;
(booki, containing 32 chapters; ii, 26 chapters; iii, 33 chapters; iv, 40 chapters; v, 53
chapters); book ii, chapter ii (Descripcion de la Ysla de Manila, y otras, Comarcas)
and iii (Las naciones q^. havitan la i^. de Manila, y sus Costumbres); book iii, chapter
xxiv (De la isla de Bohol), chapter xxv (El modo que los Filipinos tenian en amortajar y
sepultar sus difuntos), chapter xxvi (Del Tavon), and chapter xxvii (De las herencias y
subcesiones de los Filipinos); book i, chapter xiv (Apuntamientos breves de Algunas cosas
de la China, hechos por el P. Alonso Sanchez en la Corte de Espana); book iii, chapter
XV (De la falsa Religion Gentilica: idolatrias, y supersticiones de los Filipinos), chapter
xvi (De las idolatrias que se descubrieron en S^. Juan del Monte y su remedio). In all
32 folio leaves of small writing. Bound into a volume which was bought from O. Rich,
and called Spanish-American Collection. Valuable as throwing light on Chirino's method
of writing, and forever settling the authenticity of the date 1604 as the publication date
of his Relacion.

It is mentioned by San Agustin, who, however, commits the error of saying "Tagala,"
instead of "Pampanga." It is accompanied also by some sermons by the same author.
Coronel, who went to the Philippines in 1606 and died in 1630, wrote various devotional

unsatisfactory, being merely an incidental mention of the defeat of the Dutch in their
attempt to overcome the reenforcements that were being sent to Maluco.

A long notarial document consisting of 27 leaves in our transcript. I. Statement by
the above regarding the duties imposed on Philippine merchandise, and petition that the
additional two per-cent duty be repealed as being too onerous. July 27. 11. Royal
decree concerning collection of duties in Manila. Madrid, August 26, 1633. This is
followed by an act by the governor, Cerezo de Salamanca, dated July 21, 1634, ordering the
observance of the decree. On July 23, accordingly, it was proclaimed. III. Statement
by the royal officials regarding the gift of 4,000 pesos presented to the treasury by the city
for the year 1632. IV. Statement by the fiscal Juan Fernandez de Ledo; and petition
that above decree be obeyed. V. Order by the governor to register the goods in the
ships about to sail in accordance with the decree. July 27. VI. A petition by the royal
officials of the above date, asks that five per cent be collected on all the goods. That same
day the governor orders the evaluation of the cargo to be made on the five per-cent basis,
so that the ships may sail by August i, even if only with the food necessary for the voyage.
VII. Request made to governor, and allowed, for the citizens to meet in open cabildo to
consider the matter on the following day, July 28. VIII. The sense of the meeting held
on the twenty-eighth was that it would be loss and ruin to the merchants if they were com-
pelled to pay the additional two per cent; and that with the high duties of Nueva Espana,
the three per-cent duty was sufficient. At a meeting of the Audiencia July 28, all votes were
in favor of remitting the two per-cent duty for that year in order that the vessels might not
sail without cargo, as that would be more detrimental to the king than the non-collection
of the two per cent. Accordingly on July 29, the governor decided to admit the petition
not to collect the two per-cent duty that year.

Manila where he became master of novitiates. In 1639 he went to the Moluccas as com-
missary provincial, and labored in the kingdoms of Manados, Calonga, and Tabuca,
returning to Manila in 1645. After that period he served in various capacities in the
Philippines until 1653, when he left for Spain to vote in the general chapter, but died at
sea in the early part of 1654.

(que es la decima que se eregio en las Indias) y lo que su Mag^. y Pressidente proueen en
el: Con los oficios vendibles renunciables y electivos." This deals with the following
topics: archbishopric and archbishops since its erection; military posts provided by his
Majesty in the islands; salable offices of the royal Audiencia; offices of the city and
neighboring islands; offices of the two Acapulco vessels; artillery and ships in these islands
in 1644; wealth, products, and abundance of these islands; assignment of money for the
pay of the soldiers; captains and officers needed in the Philipinas Islands and for the
governor's guard; a few notes on decrees and other matters of the district of the Audiencia;
twenty-one convents and missions of the discalced Augustinians; offices provided by the
king. Fol. 320 and 329 of this MS. also treat of the Philippines. This appears from the
title and contents to be a later and possibly revised edition of the foregoing MS.

The old pressmark is J. loi. Consists of eight books as follows; I. Descripcion delas
Philippinas, of eight chapters. II. Descripcion de las islas de Maluco y otras adjacentes,
of two chapters. III. De el descubrimiento de las Philippinas y Malucas, of five chap-
ters. IV. De el convenio sobre la conquista de las Malucas, entre castilla y Portugal,

An extract from the Prologo is as follows: "In the description of the Philippinas, I follow
Father Colin almost literally in his Historia^ as he is a modern and diligent writer of the
year 1643 [Colin's work was published in 1663]; and in the history of the Malucas, I follow
the ancient writers, and the said Father Colin. . . Argensola wrote the history of the
Malucos, and very well. I write it here in detail in order to extend it to the present time;
and in order to confirm their discovery, I compare the Portuguese histories with the Cas-
tilian, and set forth in full amplitude the right of the kings of Espana because of the justi-
fication of the operations there exercised."

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
March 27, 1704. Rome; A. del V.; Carpegni; see tomo 78, pag. 425.
There are also several documents in A. del V. regarding Camacho y Avila.
Mercado, Ignacio, O. S. A.: — Libro de medicina casera. Compuesto
por un P. Agustino. [Ca., 1698.] Ayer Collection.
149 leaves; bound in pigskin. 8*^. On the first folio is "Declaracion de las virtudes
de los Arboles, y plantas que estan en este Libro." On the flyleaf is written by Retana,
its former owner: "Father Fray Bernardino Nozaleda [the last Spanish archbishop
of Manila] presented it to the military physician D. Jose de Lacalle in 1884; and Senor
Lacalle gave it to me Sept. 6, 1893, in payment of a debt." A note by the librarian of the
collection of the C. G. de T. de F. says that this is an eighteenth century copy of the
celebrated book of medicinal plants written by Father Mercado, a Filipino mestizo;
it is published in vol. iv of the Flora monumental Agustinianay but there is some
difference between the MS. and the published form; the native names of the plants are
given. Quoted by the C. G. de T. de F. who acquired it from Retana, at 250 francs.
The history of the MS. is told by Celestino Fernandez (see Perez, CatdlogOy pp. 205,
206, note). Briefly it is as follows: '"'After the death of its author, the original MS.
lay in the infirmary and apothecary shop of the Augustinian convent at Manila. In
1750, it was loaned to the Dominicans in order that they might make a copy of it.
The original copy was examined by Agustin de Santa Maria at the Augustinian
convent in Manila in 1760. During the English invasion it escaped the almost general
fate of the Augustinian MSS. The Jesuits must have borrowed it to make a copy
from it, and in 1769, at the expulsion of that order, it must have been confiscated. In 1876,
Domingo Vidal y Soler found a copy in the possession of Jos6 Martinez Canas, proprietor
of Payabas, which had formerly belonged to the Society of Jesus. At Vidal y Soleras
solicitation the owner presented the MS. to him, and after publishing in the Revista dc
Filipinas an article by the name of Un interesante manuscritOy the MS. was restored to the
Augustinians. A second copy of the MS. was owned by Jose Martin, O. S. A., the parish
priest of Tanauan, in the province of Batangas, and it is complete. This is probably the
MS. cited by Blanco in his Flora. Still another MS. was owned by Celestino Fernandez,
which he declared to be the most complete. It was found in the village of Barotac Nuevo,
in the province of Iloilo, in 1863. A copy of this last MS. was made in 1865 for Tirso
Lopez, O. S. A." The Ayer copy may be one of these last two MSS., or a copy from one
of them. Mercado, who labored in many villages, died in Bauan, in 1698. The MS.
is cited by Ramon Jordana y Morera, Bosquejo, p. 356.
Declaracion de las virtudes de los arboles y plantas de Filipinas.
[Ca., 1698.] Conserved in the Augustinian convent at Manila.
Cited by Ramon Jordana y Morera, Bosquejo, p. 356. This MS. was found by Domingo
Vidal in 1877, who considered it excellent. It was published as a continuation of Blanco's
Flora, by the Augustinians.

Consists of 69 leaves in folio, with three blank leaves at the end. It is written on rice
paper which has become very brittle. In front are sewed two leaves of rag paper, on the
second of which is written in the hand of Retana, its former owner: "The manifesto of
Archbishop Camacho is dated November 8, 1697. This defense, consequently, must be
not later than 1698." The MS. is sewed, but not bound. It was purchased by Mr. Ayer
from the C. G. de T. de F., by whom it was priced at 250 francs. It presents the friar side
of the controversy with Camacho.

This MS. has 260 pen drawings. The text, minus the drawings, was published by John
Ray in his Historia plantarum. This MS. comes from the library of Jussieu. Cited by
Sommervogel, ii, col. 580. Camel, or Kamel, was born at Brunn, Moravia, April 21,
1661, and entered the Society of Jesus as a lay brother in 1682. In 1688, he went to the
Marianas, where he devoted himself to the study of botany and pharmacy. He estab-
lished a pharmacy at Manila, where the poor received remedies free. His death occurred
May 2, 1706. Blumentritt (Vocdb. eirtz. Ausd.^ p. 128) has evidently confused the name
of this Jesuit, which he gives as Georg Carrol, and says that although his MS. (^"^ Plants of
the Philippines") has disappeared, it had been seen by Gemelli-Careri.

appointed preacher at the convent in Manila in 1726, and, after serving in several other
posts, was sent to Spain as procurator at Madrid and Rome, in 1733. He misapplied the
alms entrusted to him as procurator, and an agent was sent to restrain him; but Torrubia
refused to render any accounts, and went to Mexico, where he sought the protection of the
commissaiy-general of the Indias. On this account, he was discharged from the province
of San Gregorio in December, 1744, whereupon he became incorporated with the province
of Santo Evangelio of observant religious. Being chosen secretary-general, he went to
Madrid, and thence to Rome, where he was appointed chronicler of all the order and com-
missary procurator of the curia. He died at Rome in 1761.

giosa de las islas de el Poniente, llamadas Filipinas. Parte i^. Escribiola
un Religiose de la Compania de Jesus, y la ofrece y dedica a la milagrosa

This is on the authority of Sommervogel, who says that this is an anonymous MS-
Bihliothequey v, col. 1457); but this document is not there now. It is described as a folio
volume written on paper of the Philippines in two columns; no pagination; two maps;
divided into five books, of which the nth chapter of book iii " treats of the letters and
civilization of these islands," book iv, of plants and trees, and book v, of animals. In
his vol. ix, col. 188, Sommervogel recognizes this MS., which is a copy, and not the original,
as that of Delgado (see antey p. 138).

A MS. of 41 fol.; purchased at M. D. Turner's sale, June 5, 1859. On the flyleaf is
written: ". . . This MS. which affords a curious illustration of the internal gov-
ernment of a monastery in this Spanish Colony was part of the plunder of Manilla when
that town was sacked by the English squadron under the command of Sir W. Draper. It
belonged zh^^. to W. Dalrymple hydrographer of the Admiralty, at that sale it was pur-
chased by the bookseller." One of the sections of the MS. relates to the lending of books
to the religious and laymen. An excellent MS. throughout.

Nicolas de Tolentino en las Islas Philipinas 1605-1751. [Manila, 1751 ?]
B. M.; add. 13,973.
Wrongly embossed "Joseph de la Concepcion." Also embossed "Mus. Brit. Jure
Emptionis 13,973 Plut. CLXXXIX. C." The first seven folios consist of a letter to the
king in which he states the contents of the relation which comprises: origin, progress, and
present condition of said province; of the islands and provinces reduced to the Catholic
faith and vassalage of your Majesty without any cost to the royal treasury; of the number
of islands administered, which arc shown by the seven maps of this book, and of the villages,
doctrinas, missions, tributes, souls, Christians, and catechumens in charge of his order;
of the religious of his order who have gone to the Philippines; of the religious now in the
province and those needed; of its labors, and dangers to which the religious are continually
exposed because of the attacks of the Moros; of the adult infidel converts; and the ser-
vices of his order to the royal crown. The maps in this book (all drawn by Francisco Ale-
gre, royal pilot, in Manila, 1751) are as follows: betw. fols. 96-97, the island and province
of Mindoro; betw. fols. 99-100, the islands of Cuyo, Paragua, and others of the province
of Calamianes; betw. fol. loo-ioi, the island of Romblon and the other islands of the
province of Panay; betw. fol. 101-102, the islands of Masbate, Ticao, and Burias, of the
province of Albay; betw. fol. 108-109, the province of Caraga, in the island of Mindanao.
All these maps are well executed and are well preserved. The book is written in a clear
direct manner, and while treating especially of the Recollect Order, contains much valuable
information concerning other matters in the Philippines, See also antCy pp. 130, 131.

N. P. S. Augustin. 1760. Conserved in the Augustinian convent at
Manila.
Quarto vol., on rice paper, of 206 numbered, and 4 unnumbered folios. Cited by Perez
and Giiemes, pp. 470-472. This is an interesting bibliographical puzzle. There has been
considerable discussion as to the authenticity of this MS., and the claims of the Augus-
tinians that to them belongs the credit of the first Arte of the Bisayan tongue. This MS.
is said to have been published in the decade 1 760-1 770, or even in the first half of the i8th
century, and a copy is said to have been owned by Tomas Jimenez, O. S. A., who was
killed by the insurgents in Cebu. The Arte published in 1803 or 1804 by the Jesuits,
Perez and Giiemes believe to have been pirated from this MS. They believe from an
endorsement on the MS. dated Sept. 16, 1792, that thtArte was a posthumous work of
Encina, who died in 1760. The Jesuit edition of 1803 or 1804 collates with the MS., even
to the omission of some erasures in the latter, proof that the MS. is not a copy of the former,
but the book a copy of the MS., or of the edition published by the Augustinians in the
1 8th century. Cited also by P6rez, CatdlogOf p. 275.

Cebuan tongues. He died at Op6n, July 14, 1760, after many years of missionary work.

This MS. was purchased from Vindcl in 1904. Concerning it, a note fastened to the
flyleaf says: ''It contains in the 63 useful leaves of which it is composed, original testi-
monies of those appointments, acts, measures, and orders, written, dictated, and sent to
all of the authorities of those islands by Anda y Salazar, in order that the country might be
maintained in the obedience and dominion of his Majesty, the king of Espafia, Don Carlos
m, during the war sustained against the English in 1762 and the years following, in which
the English made themselves masters of Manila and Cavite, until they were expelled and
said places recovered by the Spaniards; with the original replies and testimonials of
obedience and respect which were given to Anda, as such governor and captain general of
Filipinas, by the prelates, alcaldes-mayor, provincial chiefs, the reverend fathers of the
religious orders, and all the natives of the country; the constancy of the offers which they
made him; the replies written to them by Anda himself; and other details interesting
because of their text and form, and the originality which they manifest." This MS.
throws many interesting sidelights on this momentous period of Philippine history; and
from it one can in part reconstruct Anda's government during the war with the English.
The MS. itself is bound in modern covers of red cloth. Many of the various papers bear

in the left-hand recto margin, which proves these papers to have been the official copy.
Many of the leaves are in poor condition, and the MS. is badly stained and slightly worm-
eaten. There are other signatures in addition to that of Anda.

Pp. 64. F°.
It is dedicated to "Santisima Virgen Maria de Gracia, patrona de todo el orden Ereme-

location, and conveniences. 11. Of its rents, wealth, and funds; illustrious persons.
m. Of the church of this convent, of its construction, dimensions, and site. IV. Of
the chapels and reredoses; their owners and benefactors. V. Of its relics, images, and
precious metals. VI. Of the sepulchers and corpses. VIE. Of other great things of this
convent; with the losses, misfortunes, and mishaps suflFered by this convent and province.
Vm. Continuation of the same. IX. Of other troubles that came to this convent with
the new visitor." This MS. is described by Diez Aguado, pp. 84, 85. Montero y Vidal,
Hist, gen.y ii, pp. 55-57, note, cites from a MS. conserved at the Augustinian convent in
Manila entitled: ''Historia del insigne convento de San Pablo de Manila, y Relacion
sucinta y veridica de la toma de Manila por la escuadra inglesa." This is doubtless the
same MS., although the matter relating to the British conquest may be the same as the

Below the title as above given, is the continuation; "Osario Venerable; Bibliotheca

Villa de la Baneza; Ministro de los Indios Bisayas, Tagalos, Pampangos, e Ylocos; y de
Manila. A very full description of Eduardo Navarro's copy, which is the only authorized
one, and contains notes in the hand of the author, is given by Diez Aguado, pp. 69-74;
who also gives the prologue, pp. 75-84. The chief parts of this MS. are as follows (we
omit fine details): I. Biographies of the most distinguished religious of our province, in
alphabetical order, with supplement (pp. 27-309). IT. Catalogue of the Augustinian pro-
vincials, m. The Benefactors of this province. IV. List of convents. V. Chart of
souls administered by Augustinians in Filipinas in 1770. VI. Chart of souls administered
by Augustinians in Chinese missions in 1771. VII. True relation of the condition of the
villages of Leyte when the Augustinians received them from the Jesuits. Vm. Chart of

Parishes and houses founded by Augustinians and transferred to other orders. X. First
index of the names of the noteworthy friars mentioned in this Osario. XI. Second index
of the authors, commentators, and translators contained in this Biblioteca idiomatica'^ of
the languages in which they wrote, with expression of printed books or MSS., their
number and quality, and the place of their conservation. XII. Third Index, comprising
the most notable, interesting, and rare things throughout the book (alphabetically ar-
ranged). Xm. Some criticisms by various fathers of this province of the first volume of
Conquistas de Filipinas by Fray Caspar de San Agustin, 1780. In his prologue, the
author notes that he had finished his book in 1760, but made later additions. He has
exercised his critical ability in regard to the biographical and bibliographical matter inserted
therein. According to Diez Aguado, the book contains much historical data not in San
Agustin. Gaspar Cano made considerable use of it in the compilation of his Catalogo.
It is of distinct value bibliographically, and the most valuable of Castro's writings.
As Castro became blind, and died in 1801, all entries in the Osario venerable^ made
sometime before and after that date, were made by Manuel Blanco, O. S. A., the author
of Flora de Filipinas (see Perez, Catalogo^ and Retana, EstadismOy i, p. vii, note).
Blumentritt, Vocah. einz. Ausd., p. 128, notes that Adalberts von Chamisso once owned a
copy of this MS.

OctaTo, of 51 pp. of text (numbered in pencil); preceded by flyleaf, one blank leaf, and
title-page (in black and red), verso blank; at the end two blank pp. and flyleaf. Bound
in black leather, embossed on back, "Castro Historia de Taal y Balayan." Cited in
Vindel's Catdlogo for 1903, no. 2619, which says "Original and unpublished MS."" It
was purchased from Vindel, who priced it at 400 pesetas, by Mr. Ayer. Treats of
Tolcanoes, products, commerce, and industry of the provinces of Taal and Balayan. Cited
also by Diez Aguado, p. 66; and Perez, Catdlogo, p. 317. Perez thinks it the same as the
following:

[Amoedo] [Castro's full secular name] en sus viages y contra viajcs en toda esta Provincia.
Ano 1790.
Pp. 174. 40. This appears, however, to be a different MS. (see the corresponding
sizes). Foreman (who cites it in his book, pp. lo, 14, and 384) is authority for the state-
ment that it is conserved in the Augustinian convent at Bauan, Batangas. This is said to
have been of great use to Martinez de Zuniga in treating of the province of Batangas in his
Estadismo.
Castro was born at La Baneza, Aug. 16, 1740. At the age of sixteen, he was admitted
into the Valladolid college, then just founded. On his way to the Philippines in 1757, he
professed at the hospice in Mexico, where he remained for two years. He completed his
studies in Manila, and in 1762 was appointed librarian of the Manila convent. During the
English invasion, and some years after, he ministered in the Visayan islands, returning to
Manila as librarian of that convent in 1773. His studies led him to travel through various
Luz6n provinces, where he gathered much literary material. In 1778 he was appointed
preacher in the Manila convent, where he died Oct. 31, 1801. His numerous MSS. (some
devotional) were conserved at the Manila convent. Retana, Imprenta, p. 10, note, calls
him the greatest bibliographer of the Augustinian order in the Philippines.

This MS. consists mainly of matter relating directly to the war with the English, and the
capture of Manila. It is chiefly composed of notarial documents, relating to the provision-
ing of the Spanish before the capture of the city, and to negotiations after the capture. It
has some value, but adds little to the documents published in vol. xlix. The MS. was
purchased by Mr. Ayer from C. G. de T. de F., who had previously purchased it from W.
E. Retana. It consists of numerous papers (written on both rag and rice paper) bound
together in a common paper cover. On this cover are the numbers 20 and 32, which were
probably the numbers of the MS. in the above collections. Cited by Retana, Estadisma,

rarious matters that were brought before him in the year 1765, and thus forms a most
raluable record of the life of Manila and the islands in the eighteenth century. The MS.
is bound in parchment, and lettered on the back "Asuntos de las Islas Philipinas afio
de 1765." It is a small folio of 289 numbered leaves and is written on rice paper. Pre-
ceding the text are one blank leaf and the title-page, both unnumbered; at the end is one
blank unnumbered leaf. Between leaves 64 and 65 is a blank unnumbered leaf. It was
formerly owned by W. E. Retana, who sold it to the C. G. de T. de F., from whom it was
purchased by Mr. Aycr. The price quoted was 300 francs. This is cited many times in
the notes to our vol. l.

1735; and went to the Philippines two years before finishing his studies. On completing
his course he was assigned to yarious villages in succession. To him is due the transfer
of the site of Taal (1754) to its present location. He held many offices in his order, being
prior provincial in 1778; and took considerable part in the opposition offered by th
regulars to Anda and Santa Justa y Rufina. He died at Guadalupe, March 6, 1798.

This is bound up with a manuscript copy of Munoz's first vol. of Historia del Nuevo
Mundo (Madrid, 1793; regarding which, see Sabin), the only vol. of this that was pub-
lished, although vol. ii exists in manuscript in both Lenox and R. A. de la H. Many of
the titles listed relate entirely or in part to the Philippines. Few printed books are listed
and then only when a transcript has been made from them. There are many titles relating
to the early discoveries of the Moluccas and Philippines. The titles of this document should
be checked up carefully with the documents in Lenox purporting to form part of the original
Munoz Collection. This MS. formed part of the Uguina Collection, and successively of
the Ternaux-Compans and Rich Collections. 108 leaves in all- This is probably the same

Written on rice paper and exceedingly well preserved, contains 352 pp. The first few
pages are holed somewhat by termites. Measures 295 mm. x 195 mm., and has narrow
margins. A partial collation is as follows: dedication "Al Illmo. y Rmo. Sor. D. Fr.
Agustin Pedro Blaquier" (with translator ""s signature on p. 3); "Prologo del Traductor,"
pp. 7-10. The work contains many annotations written in a fine hand as footnotes and in
double column. This MS. was made in 1803 while Martinez de Zufiiga was seeing his
Historia through the press, and not in 1804 as Retana supposes {Estadismoy i, p. xviii).
Retana thinks that it was begun to be printed, but that it was discontinued by order of the
colonial authorities, but he is probably in error. It has never been published, and the very
place of conservation of the MS. was unknown to the Augustinians in Manila. Apropos

1805. In collection of Eduardo Navarro, O. S. A., Valladolid.
In two vols. Bound in parchment. 4°. The £5?^2^f/5mo was edited by W. E. Retana in 2
vols., 8° (Madrid, 1893), but from another MS. Retana's copy lacks the PrdhgOy which he
later published (Archivo, ii, no. viii, pp. 227-242) from a copy of the first vol., owned by
Sancho Rayon. Navarro's copy also contains the Prologo. Retana's copy formerly
belonged to Jos6 Cabezas de Herrera (whose entire Philippine collection Retana bought).
This is a late copy made at Manila in 1879, and is in two vols. It bears title as follows:
"'Estadismo de las Yslas Filipinas 6 mis viages por este pais por el R. P. Ltor. Fr. Joaquin
M. de Zuniga del orden de S. Agustin, ex-difinidor de su provincia, calificador del Santo
oficio y cura regular del pueblo de Paraiiaque." This is accompanied by an index of
chapters. Bonifacio Moral, O. S. A., cites the MS. with approximately the same title-
page as Navarro's copy, but cites only vol. ii (see Retana 's Estadismo^ i, pp. xiii, xxiii),
which he says is in the Valladolid college. This copy he says has a second title-page, as
follows: "Viages del General de Marina D. Ignacio M^. Alava por las Islas Filipinas 6
Descripcion fisico-geogrdfica e hist6rico-politica del c^lcbre historiador de Filipinas Padre
Joaquin Martinez Zuniga que le acompan6 en sus expediciones. Publicada con notas y
cartas geograficas por su amigo D. Fr. Gonzalez Azaola, Paris." However, no such publi-
cation is known, and it was evidently never published. Moral notes that the vol. described
by him had a third title-page on f ol. 1 1 7, as follows : " Suplemento a los viages del Excelmo
Senor D. Ignacio Maria Alava Then^. Gral. de la Real Armada, en que se trata de lo restante
de las Islas Filipinas." Father Navarro has some intention of publishing his MS., although
a letter from him dated March 22, 1907, says that the publication is held up for the present.
Retana conjectures that Mas had the use of Martinez de Zuniga's MS. in the compilation
of his work, and shows by parallel passages that Buzeta and Bravo used it. Excerpts were
published in 1877 in the Revista de Filipinas. See Retana's Estadismo^ i, prologo. Mar-
tinez de Zuniga 's MS. is cited by Cano, p. 209; and his prdlogo by Montero y Vida), Hist.

This MS. is undated, but on p. 22 the date 1651 is mentioned, and the interval between
that date and the time of writing as 163 years, so that it must have been written in 1814.
It is quarto size and contains 118 pp.; is sewed, but without covers, though it may have
been bound at one time. It is made to imitate a book, and the letters are made singly to
represent printing, in about 12 point, size. It was purchased by Mr. Ayer from the C. G.
de T. de F., who priced it at 40 francs, and who perhaps acquired it with Retana's library.
It is a most curious and interesting document regarding the superstitions of the Filipinos,
the author (a Dominican) writing as though he himself believed in them; or else indulging
in sarcasm. It contains much on witches, belief in which the author shows to have been of
long standing. He cites several times from the old writers. It was written partly in
Spanish and partly in Latin; and seems to have been prepared for the press.

volumes. Vol. I begins "Parte primera. Libro primero, Capitulo i°
Noticia del descubrimiento . . . Habian corrido los tiempos .

Vol. II begins with title at head of page as above, followed by "Parte

expectacion . . .'' Ends "se ejecuto con legalidad. Capitulo

There is no author or date to this copy. The title is strikingly like that of Delgado's
book, but it is not the same MS. On the title-page of each volume is written, in the same
hand as the title-page, "Copia hecha hacia 1830''' [/".?., Copy made about 1830]. On
many of the pages is stamped the following: " Admon de las Obras de Vicente Barrantes
Serrano 16 z^- Madrid." Both volumes are bound in cloth with leather backs. The
embossing reads ^'Historia sacro-profana de Filipinas MS. Tomo I [on vol. 11, '11*]". Vol.
I contains 363 pp. of text (numbered), and five pp. of index of chapters (unnumbered).
Part I contains one book of twenty chapters; part 2 has one book of nineteen chapters.
Vol. n has pp. 167 (numbered), 86 (numbered), 10 (blank and unnumbered), 133 (num-
bered), 5 (index of chapters, unnumbered). This volume continues the second part, and
consists of the following books: [iii], with chaps. 1-16 (but there are two chapters iii,
two chapters x, and after chapter xvi, another chapter x and another chapter ivi); iv,
with 12 chapters, and with blank pages, as though more matter were to be added here;
V, with 12 chapters, and the words ''Capitulo XIII." The period covered by both volumes
is from the discovery of America to the insurrection of the Chinese in Manila in 1603.
It is evident that there was more matter that was not copied, unless perhaps there was a
third volume. There is no clue to the author, but he was undoubtedly a member of one
of the religious orders.

Folio of 291 leaves; bound in leather back and boards; embossed on back, "Depreda-
ciones de los Moros en las Islas Felipinas. P - C." Its author was a member of the
Sociedad Econ6mica. Of this MS. Barrantes says (Guerras pirdticas, pp. v-vii): "There
is circulating to quite an extent in Filipinas a bulky MS. in folio, which is exploited mar-
velously by the newspapers and local writers. From it, I have drawn, by way of extract
at times, and more often by copy, this volume of the Guerras pirdticas contra mindanaos
y joloanos [the title follows, q.v., above]; a title which, taken alone, indicates the lack of
learning of its author and the awkwardness of the work, circumstances which induced me
to recast it, the only manner in which it deserved to see the light. For that I had the ex-
press authorization of the person who gave me the MS. in Manila, in June, 1868. That
person claimed rights of literary proprietorship, which I believe rather to be a possession
of inheritance founded on certain antecedents. Without such authorization, which I
have in my possession, I would never undertake a work, more difficult than brilliant, and
more important for our policy in the colonies than for learning, today when especially
these questions of J0I6 and Mindanao may be for the Spanish government the origin of
very transcendent complications - and perhaps are so already." Also (p. liii) he says
that he has often compressed three or four chapters into one, thus presenting scarcely one-
third of the MS. (p. xii). This is an important MS., and Barrantes would have done much
better had he reproduced it entire. Cited by Montero y Vidal, Hist, gen., p. 11, note, and

252 pp. - 1 leaf missing. Bound in red and black cloth. 8°. On the flyleaf is the
endorsement signed by Retana, its former owner. "I certify that this book is entirely
written in the hand and letter of Dr. Rizal, except page 134 [titles of books evidently sold
to Rizal by Antonio Roses whose receipt occurs on p. 137]. After Dr. Rizal was shot, this
book became the property of the Filipino, Don Clemente J. Zulueta, from whom I ac-
quired it. Madrid, August, 1903." On the front cover is printed "Clinica medica."
This is a most important MS. for the study of Rizal's life. I. The first 9 pages are the
minutes of the ""Academia de Ciencias filosdfico-naturales," to which Rizal belonged in
Manila (a student society); in this occur the dates Thursday, Feb. 10, and Feb. 12, 1881,

This is one of the diaries published by Carlos Bailly-Bailliere at Madrid, and is a long
narrow book, with places for entries for each day of the year, being also combined with an
expense account. On many days no entry was made. Some entries have been made in
later years. Although comparatively little has been written in the book, one may con-
struct in large part Rizal's life at Madrid in 1884; and it is very valuable. On the title-
page, Retana, its former owner has written: "Memoranda book of Dr. Jos^ Rizal. After
he was shot, it came into possession of Sr. Clemcnte J. Zulueta, a Filipino, from whom I
acquired it. Madrid, August, 1903." Quoted by the C. G. de T. de F., who bought
it from Retana, at 500 francs. Published in great part by Retana in Vida y escritos de
Dr. Jose Rizal y in Nuestro Tiempo, 1904- 1906.
